PDP Criticizes INEC for Alleged Bias Against ADC
The Turaki-led National Working Committee of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) issued a statement on Thursday criticizing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its recent decision affecting the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and alleging bias against David Mark's leadership. The PDP expressed concern that INEC's actions could undermine Nigeria's democratic process and escalate political tensions as the country approaches the 2027 general elections.
The statement highlighted that the ADC is currently embroiled in a leadership crisis, with multiple court cases stemming from disputes over party leadership. The PDP called on national institutions, particularly INEC, to resist partisan pressures and prioritize the democratic interests of the country.
The INEC had recently announced the delisting of key ADC figures, including David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola, in compliance with a court order. This situation has raised concerns about the potential weakening of Nigeria's democracy and the implications for the upcoming elections.
