2027: ADC Cautions INEC Against Working For APC
The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) has cautioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) against tilting the electoral process in favour of the ruling All Progressives…
The African Democratic Congress has emerged as one of the opposition platforms positioning itself to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 general election, with several politicians who defected from other parties reportedly aligning with it. As with previous election cycles, concerns over INEC's neutrality have become a recurring theme in Nigerian politics, with opposition parties historically accusing the commission—whose mandate is to organise free, fair and credible elections—of being susceptible to pressure from the ruling party at the centre.
Both Leadership and Vanguard report that the ADC Presidential Campaign Council issued the warning, with Vanguard providing additional detail attributing the statement to the council and reporting it was made on a Wednesday in Abuja. Neither report specifies what prompted the warning at this particular time, nor does either indicate any formal response yet from INEC or the APC to the ADC's caution.
