National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, David Mark, cautioned against electoral manipulation and the abuse of state power ahead of the 2027 Nigerian general election. In a statement, Mark emphasized the importance of the polls' credibility and called for transparency, inclusivity, and peace during the electoral process.
He highlighted concerns over the abuse of electoral processes by governments and non-state actors, citing the violence and intimidation witnessed in the recent Osun State governorship election. Mark reiterated his party's commitment to a secure electoral environment where voters could freely cast their ballots without fear or intimidation.
