The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is yet to make a final decision on the region to zone its presidential ticket to, as the party is reportedly considering leaving it open for all eligible aspirants from the North and South ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Naijaonpoint reports that this was disclosed to journalists by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, at the end of the National Caucus meeting of the ADC on Thursday in Abuja.
According to the ADC spokesperson, aspirants had all agreed to fully back any eventual winner of the presidential primary to ensure unity and victory in 2027.
Recall that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had recently zoned its presidential ticket to the South ahead of the 2027 elections.
But Abdullahi told Daily Trust that the ADC has not made any commitments to zoning its ticket.
“The commitment was not given in the regard of zoning,” he said.
He said the opposition party was not talking about zoning for now, but working to put its structure in good stead.
The former Minister of Sports disclosed that the ADC national caucus also directed all members to resign their membership of other political parties, but that no timeline was given.
Abdullahi further disclosed that the ADC National Working Committee (NWC) has been directed to fix dates for next year’s off-cycle governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun states.
“The Coalition has rested everything concerning the ADA. That means, we are not interested in the registration or otherwise of the association,” he said.
