Former ADC governorship candidate Tonte Ibraye has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to ongoing leadership disputes and unresolved legal issues within the party. Ibraye, who ran for governor in 2023, cited the prolonged leadership crisis and the party's internal structures as reasons for his resignation in a letter dated September 24, 2026.
He expressed concern over attempts by new entrants to displace duly constituted party executives and the leadership dispute involving former Senate President David Mark. Ibraye warned that the controversy could have serious implications for candidates produced under a disputed party leadership, stating that the credibility of any political organization depends on the strength and legitimacy of its internal structures.
His resignation comes as the ADC positions itself as a major platform for opposition politicians ahead of the 2027 general elections.
