Who and what is at stake is the future of the African Democratic Congress after a recent judgment by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

The ruling restored David Mark as chairman but sent the leadership dispute back to a lower court.

This comes as the party prepares for the 2027 elections against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.


The judgment followed earlier legal battles within the party and a decision by Independent National Electoral Commission to recognise Mark’s leadership.

While the ruling gave temporary relief, it did not settle deeper issues. A previous court order still blocks the party from holding congresses or conventions. This leaves its structure uncertain at a crucial time.


The crisis is happening as top figures like Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Rotimi Amaechi weigh their chances within the party.

The struggle to pick one candidate could divide members. There are also fears that those who lose out may leave, weakening the party’s chances.


With deadlines set by INEC drawing close, the ADC must resolve its legal and political battles quickly. The party is racing to submit membership lists and candidates within strict timelines.

Its ability to unite and organise at the grassroots will decide whether it can compete strongly in 2027.
