The African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Monday said it has begun challenging the Court of Appeal’s judgment at the Supreme Court regarding its ward, local government and state congresses, insisting that the ruling has no effect on the emergence of its candidates for the 2027 general election.
In a statement following the appellate court’s judgment in Abuja, the party’s national publicity secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, described the verdict as “legally unsustainable” and said the party was confident the apex court would overturn it.
The ADC maintained that the judgment relates solely to the election of its ward, local government and state executive committees and does not invalidate the direct primaries through which its candidates emerged at all levels.
