The Digest:

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has updated its website to list David Mark as the national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Rauf Aregbesola as national secretary, following the Supreme Court's judgment. The development reverses INEC's earlier decision to remove the Mark-led executive from its portal after a Court of Appeal ruling on the party's leadership crisis.

Key Points:
  • The Supreme Court faulted the Court of Appeal's status quo ante bellum order.
  • Nafiu Bala had also laid claim to the ADC leadership.
  • The ADC page on INEC's website now shows the full leadership list led by Mark.
  • The ruling directs Mark to return to the federal high court for further hearing.
  • INEC had earlier removed the Mark-led executive in early April.

The restoration marks a temporary victory for the Mark-led faction.
