The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is experiencing a leadership change, with Senator David Mark stepping down as interim chairman and Ralph Nwosu taking over.
This move is aimed at quelling internal unrest and ensuring the party proceeds to its national convention smoothly, amidst pressure and legal challenges from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Nwosu, who previously handed over leadership to Mark, will now lead preparations for the convention, which seeks to resolve conflicts plating the party as it prepares for the 2027 elections.
The change has sparked controversy, with some seeing it as a new twist in the ADC’s power struggle.
The ADC has denied reports of Mark’s resignation, stating that no leadership change has taken place.
However, INEC has removed the Mark-led National Working Committee from its portal, citing a Court of Appeal judgment directing parties to maintain the status quo ante bellum.
The party’s leadership crisis has raised concerns about its ability to field candidates in the 2027 elections.
The ADC has accused INEC of laying landmines to prevent it from participating in the polls.
The situation remains fluid, with the ADC scheduled to hold its national convention on April 14.
Would you like to know more about the implications of this leadership change or the potential impact on the 2027 elections?
