A court in Abuja has nullified the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) under former Senate President David Mark, in a ruling that has thrown the party’s internal structure into fresh turmoil.
In a strongly worded decision, the court also described the party’s recent convention as a “kangaroo” process, suggesting it fell short of acceptable legal and procedural standards.
The judgment effectively invalidates the leadership structure that emerged from the disputed convention, raising questions about the party’s current hierarchy and future political direction.
The ruling is expected to trigger further legal and political battles within the ADC as competing factions interpret the implications of the decision ahead of upcoming electoral activities.
Neither the party nor David Mark had issued an official response at the time of filing this report.
