The Nigeria Democratic Congress has confirmed its participation in upcoming governorship elections. A statement from the party's National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, clarified that governorship candidates have been confirmed in all 28 states where elections will be held in 2027.

The party responded to reports claiming it lacked candidates in 12 states, describing these claims as false and malicious. According to Director, the reports were intended to mislead and undermine the party's growing momentum.
