2027: ‘We’ll Be Open To Conversations,’ NDC Hints On Coalition

Since 2025, the opposition has united under the ADC, but internal disputes, legal challenges, and defections to the NDC have weakened efforts to present a united challenge to the ruling APC.

The National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Seriake Dickson, has said the party remains open to discussions with other opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general elections, while expressing hope that any eventual coalition would rally behind the NDC’s candidates.

Dickson made the remarks during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics when asked whether the NDC would consider aligning with other opposition figures, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

“As an opposition leader, we will be open. Our party, the NDC, will be open to conversations within that space.

“But it is not for me or anyone to pre-empt those discussions. We hope that whatever discussions take place will lead to the NDC candidates being backed because we know the value of the candidates we are putting forward.

“We are not claiming superiority. After the nomination process has ended, we will move into another phase of discussions. Whether there will be an agreement, I don’t know. We will try. Where it will lead, I don’t know, but all those are options that remain open,” he said.
