A political party won't tolerate electoral manipulation, warns its leader, says report. National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, Senator David Mark, emphasized this stance during a meeting with the Governing Council of the Savannah Centre for Diplomacy, Democracy, and Development. The council, led by former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, met with ADC officials at the party's headquarters in Abuja.
The Savannah Centre is actively engaging with political parties and stakeholders ahead of the 2027 elections. Ariwoola urged the ADC to ensure its candidates and supporters followed the rules of the Independent National Electoral Commission and avoided actions that could lead to political violence. Mark responded by stating that the ADC would abide by electoral rules and its own code of conduct but would not accept electoral manipulation.
The ADC has previously warned against using state institutions to influence the 2027 elections, emphasizing the need to protect election credibility. The Savannah Centre's recent consultations aim to build consensus among political actors and promote peaceful, free, fair, and credible elections in 2027.
