ADC Faces Credibility Crisis Over Kaduna Governorship Ticket

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is currently facing significant internal challenges regarding its governorship ticket in Kaduna State as it prepares for the 2027 elections. The party's gubernatorial primary resulted in Rt.

Hon. Isa Ashiru being declared the winner; however, the outcome has been met with dissatisfaction.

Concerns have arisen following a petition submitted by Mallam Shuaibu Idri Mikati to the party's national appeal panel, which is reviewing the legitimacy of the candidacy. This situation has created uncertainty among party members, who fear it may weaken the ADC's chances in the upcoming elections.

Political analysts note that unresolved disputes regarding candidate legitimacy could undermine public confidence in the party. Ashiru has previously contested for the governorship position multiple times and has faced legal challenges regarding election outcomes.

Additionally, recent developments, including leaked audio suggesting Ashiru's personal political ambitions, have raised further questions about the party's leadership and strategy.
