The African Democratic Congress is grappling with internal uncertainty ahead of the 2027 general election as the anticipated membership of former vice-president Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, ex-governor of Anambra, remains stalled.
The sources, who asked not to be named, said delays by the Independent National Electoral Commission in recognising David Mark’s leadership of the party, coupled with legal disputes and financial constraints, have also slowed down the coalition’s growth. On March 20, prominent opposition figures launched a coalition movement in Abuja to challenge President Bola Tinubu in 2027, a development that sparked nationwide debate on the possibility of a united opposition.
Under the arrangement, Mark was named interim national chairman, with Rauf Aregbesola serving as national secretary.Atiku, who left the Peoples Democratic Party over a month ago, is yet to register with the ADC or any other political party.A senior party member told Punch that the situation is a growing concern.
