The PDP and the NDC say they will go to court against INEC if the commission does not act soon. Their grievance is that candidates they put forward have been left out of the lists for the 2027 general elections. The parties gave the commission a deadline of October 24 to add the omitted names. That cutoff falls on a Friday, so legal action could follow within hours of the deadline passing. Missing names on an official list this far ahead of an election is the sort of slip-up that breeds distrust. Both parties frame the matter as a straightforward duty: enrol the candidates and run a contest free of administrative doubts. INEC has yet to fully explain the omission, which means the dispute is on course for the courts unless the list is corrected first.
