ADC Plans Opposition Coalition for 2027 Election

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced ongoing discussions to form a broad opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 presidential election, despite the withdrawal of prominent politicians such as former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi and former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. ADC National Publicity Secretary Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi expressed confidence that a united opposition would have a stronger chance against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Abdullahi emphasized that the coalition project remains active and that the ADC is committed to uniting various political interests. The ADC has nominated former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate, with former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi as his running mate.

The party has submitted their particulars to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Abdullahi stated that economic challenges, including rising living costs and food insecurity, would significantly influence the election outcome, asserting that Nigerians would not support a continuation of the current administration's policies.
