The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has insisted on going ahead with its planned congresses and convention, despite the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, derecognizing its leadership.
In a notice released on Friday by its spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said the congress is expected to last from April 7th to 14th, 2026.
The congress will commence with the screening of aspirants and then end with a national convention.
This comes days after INEC delisted the party’s leadership under former Senate President David Mark.
The party has condemned the decision, calling for the resignation of the electoral body’s chairman, Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan.
However, Amupitan said the commission’s decision was based on a pending court case.
He cautioned ADC that if the party goes on with its congresses disregarding judicial directives, the move could ultimately invalidate any electoral victory secured by the party. (Daily Post).
