ADC Crisis Slows Defections

ADC Crisis Slows Defections

Moves by Seyi Makinde and Bala Mohammed to join the African Democratic Congress have slowed following fresh uncertainty around the party’s leadership.

The shift comes after the Independent National Electoral Commission removed the party’s leadership names from its records based on a court ruling.

The development has created doubt among politicians who were planning to defect to the party. Lawmakers and political figures are now taking a step back, waiting to see how the leadership dispute is resolved before making any move.

Sources said both governors had been in talks to join the ADC amid challenges in the Peoples Democratic Party.

However, recent events have forced them to pause further engagement, while officials close to them insist no final decision has been made.

The uncertainty has also affected members of the National Assembly, many of whom are still consulting on their next step.

With the crisis unresolved, attention is now on how the courts and electoral body will settle the dispute before any major defections happen.
