Okwori Ada Elizabeth Frederick (INEC: OKWORI ADA ELIZABETH FREDRICK), widely known as Ada Fredrick or Ada Okwori, is the National Democratic Party (NDP) presidential candidate for the election of 16 January 2027, with Chukwuemeka Uchenna Anthony as her running mate. She is an Idoma woman from Benue State; press profiles say she hails from Adoka and has roots in Otukpo. INEC's final list gives her age as 48 and her declared qualifications as the First School Leaving Certificate, the Senior Secondary School Certificate and a Higher National Diploma in Accountancy; her schools and occupation were not found. She came up through the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and grassroots organising. In October 2014, as national coordinator of Ward2Ward (Ward-to-Ward), the grassroots group she founded, she campaigned for President Goodluck Jonathan's re-election, and in April 2024 a youth group backed her bid to become the PDP's National Women Leader. She then founded the NDP. INEC shortlisted the association on 11 September 2025 with her as interim chairman but declined to register it by a letter of 18 December 2025. She and three other promoters sued, and on 16 February 2026 the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered INEC to register the party, which it did in March 2026; INEC lists her as its National Chairman by court order. The NDP adopted her by consensus as its presidential candidate at primaries held on 29 May 2026 and unveiled her on 1 June 2026. INEC's final list of 12 September 2026 carries the ticket (SN 11); she is one of two women among the 18 presidential candidates. She has proposed that women fill at least 40 per cent of her party's executive and candidate lists.
