ADC Protests INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan's Resignation

Members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) staged a protest at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office, demanding the resignation of INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan. The protest involved ADC members carrying banners with the inscription "Amupitan resign." This demonstration is part of a broader call for Amupitan's resignation, which has been fueled by accusations that he has ties to the ruling Progress Congress (APC).

The ADC members held peaceful demonstrations across the country, expressing their dissatisfaction with Amupitan's leadership. Concurrently, the ADC is awaiting a Supreme Court ruling regarding a leadership dispute that could significantly impact the party's future ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The Supreme Court is set to deliver its judgment on April 30, 2026, concerning the leadership tussle within the ADC, with the party's leadership reportedly holding an emergency strategy meeting to discuss potential outcomes and next steps.
