The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially recognized the new leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), bringing to an end months of internal leadership tussle within the opposition party.
In a change reflected on its official website on Wednesday in Abuja, INEC listed the new executive members of the ADC, confirming the resolution of the lingering crisis.
According to the commission, the newly recognized National Working Committee of the ADC is now led by former Senate President, Senator David Bonaventure Mark, who has been named the National Chairman. Former Osun State governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, was listed as the National Secretary.
Other members of the leadership include Dr. Mani Ibrahim Ahmad as National Treasurer; Akibu Dalhatu as National Financial Secretary; and former Edo State governor, Prof. Oserheimen Aigberaodion Osunbor, as National Legal Adviser.
The development is widely expected to reposition the party ahead of the 2027 general elections. Stakeholders have expressed optimism that the new leadership would provide stability and chart a clear direction for the ADC.
