The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday announced its recognition of Senator David Mark as the new national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
This announcement followed a series of internal adjustments within the party, which concluded with the emergence of new national officers to steer the party forward.
Among those officially recognised are Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as National Secretary, Dr. Ibrahim Mani as National Treasurer, Akibu Dalhatu as National Financial Secretary, and Professor Oserheimen Osunbor as National Legal Adviser.
The decision by INEC, Nigeria’s apex electoral body, is being regarded as a significant milestone for the ADC. The endorsement is expected to solidify the party’s structure and provide a foundation for it to expand its influence nationwide.
Political commentators have described the development as timely, considering the 2027 general elections are drawing closer. The ADC leadership, under Senator Mark, is reportedly preparing for a nationwide mobilisation campaign to bring disgruntled members back into the fold.
This recognition has also been interpreted as an effort to reposition the party into the mainstream of Nigerian politics, giving it a stronger chance to challenge bigger political platforms in the next election cycle.
