ADC Youth League Backs INEC, Rejects David Mark Faction
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) youth league has expressed its support for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) following its decision to suspend the faction led by David Mark, which they deem illegitimate.

They recognized the need for true leadership within the ADC and reaffirmed their commitment to the party's foundational ideals.
