Crisis Hits African Democratic Congress as Leadership Struggles Emerge

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) faces internal turmoil as stakeholders vie for control, with leadership adjustments causing a crisis within the party. The battle for the party's soul intensified after the resignation of the National Chairman, Ralph Okey Nwosu, leading to questions about ownership and internal democracy.

The party's future as an opposition movement ahead of the 2027 general election is uncertain amidst conflicting claims over the 2023 presidential candidate. The interim leadership, led by figures like former Senate President David Mark and former Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola, seeks to navigate the party through these challenging times.
