The African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) will not field candidates in Cross River State’s 6 February 2027 governorship election.

This follows their omission from the final list of cleared candidates released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the electoral body released the final list on Saturday, with only eight political parties having candidates for the governorship election.

The parties are the All Progressives Congress (APC), All Peoples Party (APP), Allied Peoples Movement (APM), National Rescue Movement (NRM), Labour Party (LP), Action Alliance (AA), Action Democratic Party (ADP) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to the list, Nya Bassey of the APP is the youngest governorship candidate, while Governor Bassey Otu of the APC and Ali Patrick of the AA are the oldest at 66 years each.

Meanwhile, no fewer than 241 candidates have been cleared by INEC to contest 36 elective positions in the state in the 2027 general elections.

The positions comprise the governorship, Senate, House of Representatives, and State House of Assembly seats.
