In what many analysts describe as a turning point in Nigeria’s opposition politics, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has formally recognised Senator David Mark as the new National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), bringing an end to months of intense leadership tussle within the party.

The confirmation was reflected in an update to ADC’s particulars on the INEC official website on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, in Abuja.

✅ The New ADC Executive

According to INEC’s published list, the new National Working Committee (NWC) of the ADC includes:

This lineup features some of Nigeria’s most experienced political heavyweights, signalling a strong repositioning of the ADC ahead of the 2027 general elections.

🌍 ADC as the New Opposition Coalition Platform

The development comes just two months after a coalition of opposition leaders officially adopted the ADC as their joint platform for the 2027 polls.

Among the coalition’s prominent figures are:

By rallying under one umbrella, the coalition aims to create the strongest challenge yet to the ruling APC, with the ADC now emerging as a credible mega-party.

⚖️ Why This Matters

The INEC recognition of David Mark’s leadership finally settles months of internal wrangling and gives the ADC a legitimate foundation to operate as the primary opposition force.

For context, the African Democratic Congress had for years struggled with internal divisions and limited national visibility. But with this development, the party is being repositioned as a national vehicle for unity among aggrieved political leaders.

Political observers note that the strategic blend of North-Central (David Mark), South-West (Aregbesola), South-South (Osunbor), and Northern technocrats in the new executive is a calculated move to balance Nigeria’s geo-political sensitivities and broaden the ADC’s national appeal.

🕊️ Editorial Perspective: A Defining Moment for Nigeria’s Democracy

Global Egberi Media International believes this moment could prove historic in Nigeria’s democratic journey. If the ADC truly harnesses the energy of its new leadership and coalition members, the party may finally break the cycle of fragmented opposition that has long handed electoral advantage to the ruling party.

However, unity on paper is not enough. The opposition must move beyond personality-driven politics to present clear economic, security, and governance alternatives that resonate with ordinary Nigerians.

The INEC stamp of legitimacy is only the beginning. The real test will come in how the ADC manages internal discipline, balances the ambitions of its powerful members, and convinces Nigerians that it is more than just a temporary marriage of convenience.
