2027: NDC mandates governorship, National and State Assembly candidates to sign anti-defection forms

BREAKING: NDC has introduced a strict anti-defection policy mandating all our candidates for elective offices to sign indemnity and affidavit forms, committing to vacate their seats if they defect from the party after winning elections.

I like this. Enough of using PO to win and then dumping the party soon.
However, this time I don't see anybody defecting. No one leave a ruling party with an efficient president.

This Dickson mean business.

You can't do what you did to Labor party here.

Iron caged and lock for their aspirants.

This agreement is still not above the nigerian constitution that allows elected members of a political party to defect to other parties if there is conflict or faction amongst the leadership in a party. Any elected member of the ndc can rubbish this agreement in court in future if the ndc leadership doesn't manage the party affairs properly, dickson should know we are in a democracy and can't run his ndc like a cult.

Master of defection suddenly does not want others to defect. Na so so litigation go end una matter.

Go and check section 2722 of the 1999 constitution and come back here to say the same. Even ordinary house rent agreement carries legal weight not to talk of legal bindings among political elites. And moreover the 2026 electoral act amendment forbids INEC or even the courts to decide party internal affairs, you think day nah play play

Internal affairs of a party can be brought before the court when the issue borders on legality and constitutional rights.

An political agreement is only valid to the extend it can be enforced before the court. This one does not seem to.

Very correct.

Even the electoral act which has a higher legal value than this mere agreement was nullified in some aspects (electoral calendar) because it violated the constitution. Why should this mere political agreement not be nullify to the extent it is inconsistent with the ground norm?

These people just argue emotionally.

NDC’s anti-defection form is both smart and revealing.

Smart, because Nigeria’s politics has been damaged by politicians who win on one party’s platform and then carry the mandate to another party like personal luggage.

For lawmakers, the Constitution already frowns at this. Sections 68 and 109 say a legislator who defects loses the seat, except where there is genuine party division or merger.

So NDC is not inventing discipline. It is trying to enforce it.

But it is also revealing.

The fact that NDC must make candidates sign an affidavit shows the party understands the danger of political prostitution. It knows some politicians may see it as a temporary vehicle, win election, then run elsewhere.

That is why this policy will only work if NDC becomes more than a 2027 special-purpose vehicle.

Affidavits can restrain opportunists, but only ideology builds loyalty.

Still, the principle is sound: if you leave the party, leave the mandate.

Politics should not be “win here, eat there.”

wellmax:
This is dead on arrival. Won’t stand in any court. The Nigerian constitution permits decamping, no party constitution can supersede that

It is already in the constitution. Did you read it? What you are saying is that the judiciary should not follow the constitution.

Sections 68, 109, clearly address the HOA members of both houses.

Does not apply to Governors except there is a disagreement in the party. Please, go and read it.

Because the yahoo-courts have bluntly refused to enforce the constitutional laws. We have the Wike-led, renegade, 21 law-BREAKERS who defected in Rivers State with impunity.

Educate yourself. Google or AI exist to assist people like you. 🍷
