The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has continued to dominate political discussions ahead of the 2027 general elections following a series of legal battles, defections, and leadership disputes within the party.

A Federal High Court recently adjourned indefinitely a suit involving the party’s leadership after a request was made for the case to be reassigned to another judge. The party also accused some individuals of attempting to pressure Justice Emeka Nwite to withdraw from the matter.

The opposition party has also been dealing with uncertainty surrounding its national leadership and convention arrangements. Earlier reports indicated that the party secured a last-minute venue for its national convention in Abuja after disagreements over the use of the Eagle Square.

Meanwhile, the ADC released a revised timetable for its 2026 primary elections and reduced the cost of its presidential nomination form from N100 million to N90 million following consultations with stakeholders.

In another development, economist Mohammed Hayatu-Deen became the first aspirant to obtain the party’s presidential nomination form for the 2027 election, pledging to focus on insecurity, job creation, and economic stability.

The party has also witnessed major defections and internal disagreements within the broader opposition coalition. Activist Aisha Yesufu recently resigned from the ADC and joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), while reports also indicated growing cracks within the opposition alliance involving key political figures.
