ADC's Challenge to APC in 2027 Elections Explored
• Premium Times • Politics
The article by Wole Olaoye examines the prospects of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the upcoming 2027 elections against the All Progressives Congress (APC). It notes that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has delisted prominent politicians like David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola, which may hinder opposition efforts. The piece suggests that while the ADC could surprise many, the overwhelming number of APC governors and legislators may not translate into victories for the ADC in presidential candidacy. The article also discusses the political landscape, including the potential candidacy of Peter Obi and the implications of a southern candidate versus a northern candidate. It raises concerns about the APC's strategies to maintain power and the challenges faced by the ADC in gaining traction among voters, particularly in the context of religious and regional biases.
