The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced that it has uploaded its presidential, vice-presidential, and National Assembly candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement issued on Monday July 13, 2026, the party’s National Chairman, Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe, said the completion of the exercise underscores the ADC’s commitment to internal democracy and the protection of the interests of its founding and legacy members.
According to Gombe, the development reflects the party’s resolve to uphold democratic principles despite what he described as “anti-democratic tendencies.”
“This achievement demonstrates our Party’s firm commitment to safeguarding the interests of our founding and legacy members in the face of anti-democratic tendencies,” he said.
He added that the ADC remains focused on presenting credible, competent, and people-centered candidates capable of providing purposeful leadership and promoting good governance.
“As a Party, the ADC remains resolute in its mission to field credible, competent, and people-centered candidates who will provide purposeful leadership, promote good governance, and bring hope to the Nigerian people,” Gombe stated.
The submission of candidates through the INEC portal forms part of the statutory requirements for political parties participating in Nigeria’s general elections.
The party said further details regarding its candidates for the 2027 polls will be made public in the coming weeks.
The announcement comes amid ongoing political developments within the ADC and ahead of preparations for the 2027 general elections.
