A growing coalition of opposition parties and political stakeholders has officially adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its platform ahead of the 2027 general elections, naming former Senate President David Mark as the party’s new National Chairman. The announcement marks a major development in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape as opposition forces gear up to challenge the ruling party’s grip on power.
The coalition, which includes members from various political blocs, civil society organisations, and disgruntled former party leaders, said the choice of the ADC was strategic due to its neutrality, national spread, and willingness to accommodate diverse interests. David Mark’s appointment is seen as a unifying move, aimed at lending credibility and structure to the alliance given his reputation for political experience and national appeal.
In an acceptance statement, Mark pledged to reposition the party as a credible alternative and expressed confidence that the coalition would offer Nigerians a new vision in 2027. Talks within the bloc are said to be ongoing as more politicians signal interest in joining the movement, with party officials promising an inclusive, issue-based platform rooted in electoral reform, security, and economic recovery.
