NDC Begins Talks With INEC Over New Party Logo

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has commenced discussions with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over plans to replace its existing party logo with a modified version.

Naija News reports that the party disclosed this in a statement issued on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, who said the proposed change had already been communicated to the electoral commission.

According to the party, the modification followed consultations with INEC, but some administrative processes still need to be completed before the new logo can officially replace the existing one.

The NDC therefore asked its candidates, members and supporters to continue using the current logo for political activities until the process with INEC is concluded.

The existing logo carries a two-finger victory sign and remains the approved symbol for the party’s campaign activities for now.

The party said it is working to complete the outstanding administrative requirements with INEC so that the modified logo can be formally adopted.

“The NDC, in consultation with INEC, have also modified our logo and notified INEC appropriately, at a meeting INEC themselves attended with us,” the statement reads.

“For some reasons, however, there have been some administrative details which we’re working round the clock to resolve before the existing logo would be replaced with the modified version.

“Until then, however, we enjoin all our candidates and members to continue using the old logo, which is also the two-finger victory sign, for campaign purposes, pending the conclusion of all engagements and arrangements with INEC regarding the replacement.”
