Dickson Dismisses Legal Threats Against NDC Registration

Seriake Dickson, the leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), addressed legal threats against the party, asserting that the NDC's registration is legitimate and cannot be legally challenged. This statement was made on Tuesday in response to concerns raised by political activist Dr.

Umar Ardo regarding legal procedures surrounding the party's emergence. Dickson explained that the NDC's journey began in 2017 when it initiated the application process for registration, which was initially suspended by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The party's registration was later revived when INEC lifted the embargo, leading to the NDC being among 171 political associations recognized. Dickson noted that the party's initial registration was denied due to its proposed logo being allegedly similar to that of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He emphasized that the matter is no longer open for legal contest as the statutory window for appeal has expired. Dickson expressed confidence in the NDC's growth and its focus on building a political platform ahead of the 2027 general elections.
