Opposition Leaders Eye APP, NDC Amid ADC Crisis

Opposition leaders are considering the All Progressives Party (APP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as alternative political platforms in light of a deepening crisis within the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This crisis stems from disputes over leadership that have led to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) refusing to recognize the current ADC leadership.

The ongoing legal battles surrounding the ADC could extend beyond the party's primaries, potentially affecting the submission of its membership registration by the May 8 deadline. As the crisis continues, opposition leaders are planning to meet during the Easter break to deliberate on strategies moving forward.

They are cautious about prolonging disputes that could hinder their electoral viability. The ADC's inability to resolve its internal issues may block it from fielding candidates for the presidential, governorship, and legislative elections in 2027, prompting discussions among opposition leaders about maintaining stable leadership structures and considering alternative platforms.
