ADC.webp
The Digest:

A new faction within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has emerged, rejecting the authority of the Senator David Mark-led coalition and distancing itself from Nafiu Bala's faction. The faction, led by Don Norman Obinna, claims to represent the legitimate National Executive Committee of the party. The group stated that "the tenure of Ralph Nwosu, who handed the party to the David Mark group, had ended in August 2022." New interim leaders have been appointed to oversee party activities until the national convention.

Key Points:
  • The ADC now has at least three factions: David Mark, Nafiu Bala, and Don Norman Obinna.
  • The new faction claims Ralph Nwosu's tenure ended in August 2022.
  • The group affirmed that Dumebi Kachikwu remains an ADC member.
  • INEC's recognition of any faction remains uncertain.
  • The crisis deepens as the May 10 submission deadline approaches.
