Rivers NDC Launches Voter Mobilisation Drive Ahead of 2027 Elections

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Rivers State has intensified efforts to mobilise voters ahead of the 2027 general elections, urging eligible residents, especially youths, to participate in the ongoing voter registration exercise.

The call was made during the party’s first Youth Congress Meeting held in Port Harcourt, where youth leaders from all 23 local government areas gathered to discuss strategies for increasing voter participation.

A major focus of the meeting was the need to encourage eligible citizens to register and obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) before the registration deadline.

Party officials stressed the importance of grassroots sensitisation, urging youth leaders to educate residents in their communities about the significance of voter registration and active participation in the democratic process.

The party’s Non-Indigenes Coordinator, Prosper Olleanya, also appealed to eligible voters to take advantage of the ongoing registration exercise, describing it as a crucial step toward shaping the future of governance.

Speaking at the event, the State Youth Leader of the party, Tonwe Nelson, announced plans for a massive 500,000-man voter sensitisation march scheduled for next week. According to him, the initiative is aimed at boosting awareness and encouraging greater participation among young people and other eligible voters across the state.

Meanwhile, the Governorship Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress in Rivers State, Dumo Lulu-Briggs, called on Nigerians to take voter registration seriously. He disclosed that he had been confirmed as the party’s governorship candidate and was awaiting his Certificate of Return.

Lulu-Briggs described voter registration as one of the most effective democratic tools available to citizens seeking positive change and accountable leadership.

With the voter registration deadline drawing closer, party leaders pledged to sustain awareness campaigns and grassroots mobilisation efforts throughout Rivers State to ensure more eligible voters are registered and ready to participate in the 2027 elections.
