The African Democratic Congress (ADC) will take part in the 2027 general elections despite the court ruling nullifying its David Mark-led leadership, but former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar’s chances of appearing on the ballot remain uncertain, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has said.
He said the court judgment did not stop the ADC from participating in the elections. However, he warned that candidates nominated by the Mark-led faction, including Atiku, might not be recognised, depending on the final decision of the Supreme Court.
He made this clarification in a post on X on Sunday, dismissing claims that APC had effectively excluded the party from the 2027 elections.
