ADC Defies Hurdles to Hold National Convention Amid Court Battle

The ADC held its national convention in Abuja amid a legal dispute over its leadership. Around 2,500 delegates are expected to ratify the National Working Committee under former Senate President David Mark. The party faced de-recognition by INEC and was denied access to venues including Eagle Square and the National Stadium Velodrome. FCT authorities deny blocking the event, saying no formal application was submitted. ADC leaders protested at INEC headquarters and caucus members in the House called for the removal and prosecution of INEC Chairman Prof. Amupitan over alleged bias. Meanwhile, the Kaduna chapter warned the public about circulating fake membership cards. Political experts caution that recurring internal crises within parties undermine internal democracy and could threaten Nigeria’s broader democratic development.
