The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has convened top political figures and party members at its national convention, as it steps up preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The gathering focused on strengthening unity and positioning the party as a major contender in Nigeria’s political landscape.
Party leaders used the convention to outline strategies for the upcoming elections.
They stressed the need for coordination, discipline, and a clear political direction as the party builds momentum ahead of 2027.
During the discussions, stakeholders emphasised unity as a key factor for success.
They urged members to set aside internal differences and work toward a shared goal of strengthening the party’s national presence.
Prominent figures, including David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola, were highlighted as part of the convention lineup.
Their involvement signals growing political weight within the party.
Some party members described the timing of the convention as critical.
They alleged increasing political pressure from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), which they say could affect opposition activities.
However, party leaders insisted they remain focused on their long-term strategy.
The convention also comes amid rising concerns involving the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Opposition figures at the event warned that certain actions by the commission could impact party operations ahead of the elections.
Despite the challenges, the ADC expressed confidence in its progress.
Leaders said the party continues to gain support and is determined to emerge as a strong force in the 2027 elections.
The convention marks a key moment in ADC’s political strategy.
As preparations intensify, the party’s ability to maintain unity and navigate external pressures will shape its chances in 2027.
