The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has introduced an anti-defection framework aimed at ensuring party loyalty among its candidates for elective offices. This new policy mandates that individuals seeking to run under the NDC banner, including prominent figures such as Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, must sign legally binding agreements. These agreements stipulate that any candidate who leaves the party after winning an election will be required to relinquish their mandate. The announcement was made on Tuesday during a press conference held at the party's national headquarters in Abuja.
