The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially confirmed Senator David Mark as the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), bringing clarity to the party’s leadership amid recent internal disputes.
The confirmation, reported by a TVC News correspondent, follows a period of mounting tension within the ADC over its national leadership. INEC’s recognition is expected to pave the way for stability and unity within the party ranks.
Alongside Senator Mark, INEC also recognised several newly appointed national officers who were unveiled during a high-profile coalition event in Abuja this past July. The new leadership team includes:
- Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola – Secretary General
- Dr. Ibrahim Mani – Treasurer
- Akibu Dalhatu – Financial Secretary
- Professor Oserheimen Aigberaodion Osunbor – Legal Adviser
With its leadership now formally endorsed, the ADC is anticipated to launch a nationwide reconciliation and mobilisation campaign as it works to bolster its political standing ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This latest development marks a significant shift in the party’s trajectory and signals a renewed focus on internal cohesion and national outreach.
