ADC to Share Election Results Despite INEC's Warning

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced its intention to share independently collated election results despite a warning from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement issued by ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi, the party emphasized that Nigerians have a constitutional right to collect, collate, and disseminate polling-unit results.

The ADC plans to deploy agents and structures to document results from polling units and communicate verified figures to the public during the 2027 general elections. While acknowledging INEC's role in declaring official results, the ADC argued that this does not prevent political parties or citizens from independently gathering and sharing election information.

The party clarified that its results would not substitute INEC's official declarations but would provide transparency in the electoral process. The ADC's stance comes amid ongoing preparations for the 2027 elections, where the credibility and transparency of polling-unit results are critical issues.
