His acceptance of the ticket comes after a recent political move that saw him leave the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the NDC ahead of the party primaries. Before his defection, Doherty had already declared his intention to contest the Lagos governorship election under the ADC platform.
The development marks another step in the political build-up to the 2027 general elections, with parties across the country gradually unveiling candidates and strengthening their structures ahead of the contest.
Doherty is expected to begin consultations and engagements with party members, supporters and residents as preparations gather pace for the governorship race in Lagos, one of Nigeria’s most politically important states.
