Adamawa Candidates Commit to Peace Accord for 2027 Elections

At the State 2027 Violence-Free Campaigns and Elections Peace Accord Summit held at the Adamawa State Government House in Yola, candidates committed to a peace accord aimed at ensuring a violence-free electoral process for the February 2027 elections. They pledged to avoid ethnic and religious incitement, threats, misinformation, disinformation, and personal attacks.

The candidates agreed to focus their campaigns on policies, programs, and visions for Adamawa State's development and to resolve political differences through lawful and democratic means. The summit was organized by the ABAK Peace Foundation in collaboration with the National Peace Committee and the Adamawa State Peace Commission.

The agreement aims to translate the national commitment to peaceful elections into actionable steps at the state level. Key stakeholders identified include political parties, candidates, supporters, traditional and religious leaders, security agencies, civil society organizations, the media, youth and women’s groups, and the electorate.

This accord follows a National Peace Accord signed in Abuja in August 2026.
