A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to recognise and adopt the two-finger symbol of the National Democratic Congress as the party’s official logo.
The court’s decision followed a legal dispute over the symbol and its inclusion in INEC’s records ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The ruling requires the electoral commission to recognise the two-finger logo as belonging to the NDC and reflect it in relevant electoral materials and records.
The development is significant for the NDC as political parties begin preparations for the 2027 elections and work to establish their identities with voters.
The party had approached the court after concerns arose over the recognition of its chosen symbol by the electoral commission.
The court’s order places an obligation on INEC to comply with the directive and ensure that the party’s approved symbol is appropriately reflected in the commission’s processes.
The ruling comes amid increasing political activity ahead of the 2027 elections, with opposition parties and political groups seeking to strengthen their structures and prepare for the electoral contest.
The NDC is among the emerging political platforms positioning itself ahead of the next general election, with the party expected to continue its mobilisation and organisational activities following the court’s decision.
