ADC blames partners for defeat in FCT council polls

AI Summary

The national leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) said the party’s poor showing in the 2026 Abuja Area Council elections was due to alleged breaches of due process by some coalition partners. ADC National Chairman Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe expressed disappointment and distanced the party from an international press conference held by groups he described as “so‑called opposition elements.” He also rejected accusations that the National Assembly overstepped its role in the constitutional framework for the 2027 Electoral Act, stating the legislature is performing its duties. The statements suggest internal party tensions may affect ADC’s strategy ahead of future elections.
