ADC, NDC Fail To Field Candidates In All Senate, House Of Rep Seats [FULL LIST]

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the final candidate list for the 2027 National Assembly elections, exposing key structural gaps across major opposition parties, including the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

While the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) successfully nominated candidates across all 109 Senatorial Districts and 360 House of Representatives seats, official verification records confirm that the NDC and ADC failed to field candidates across several legislative constituencies nationwide.

Below is the comprehensive list of all Senatorial Districts and Federal Constituencies where both parties failed to nominate candidates for the 2027 general elections:
