The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Yobe State has accused the Yobe State Independent Electoral Commission (YSIEC) of not properly informing the party about the rules, schedule and other aspects of the 2026 Local Government Council Election. ADC's state chairman, Umar Kalli Alhaji, expressed this concern in a letter to the YSIEC chairman in Damaturu.
The party emphasized that knowing the election details in a timely manner is crucial for political parties to participate fairly and legally in the process. ADC called for concrete proof of how, when and through which official medium the YSIEC communicated the electoral information to them. The party's grievances are rooted in the provisions of the 1999 Constitution, relevant electoral laws and YSIEC regulations that govern local government elections.
If it can be proven that ADC's alleged lack of notification affected its rights or ability to participate, ADC threatened to seek legal action, reach out to the media and hold peaceful public protests, all within the bounds of the law. ADC urged the YSIEC to promptly explain what happened and take corrective steps to ensure all political parties have the same chance to take part in the election.
The party raised this concern for the sake of fairness, transparency and the integrity of local government elections in Yobe State.
