Atiku Coalition Denies Switch to New Party Ahead of 2027 Election

The Atiku Coalition has refuted claims of abandoning the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for a new party, Democratic Alliance (ADA), ahead of the 2027 general election in Nigeria. Following former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's resignation from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to join forces with opposition leaders, including Peter Obi, to form the ADC, there were speculations of a shift to ADA.

However, the ADC's national publicity secretary clarified that the coalition remains committed to the ADC, aiming to strengthen it as a national democratic party. This development underscores the evolving political landscape and strategies shaping up for the upcoming elections.
