ADC Inaugurates New NEC, David Mark, Aregbesola, Babachir Lawal at the Helm

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has inaugurated a new NEC, with David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola, and Babachir Lawal leading its fresh leadership team ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 elections.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has unveiled a new leadership team featuring prominent political figures, including former Senate President David Mark, ex-Minister of Interior Rauf Aregbesola, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal, retired General Tunde Ogbeha, and ex-Minister of Youth Development Bolaji Abdullahi.

The political heavyweights were officially sworn in on Monday night in Abuja as members of the party’s newly constituted National Executive Committee (NEC), marking a significant shift in the ADC’s leadership structure.

The brief but symbolic inauguration, held at Chelsea Hotel, Abuja, was supervised by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure proper transition protocols.

The new NEC immediately assumed office following the handover from the outgoing executive led by Ralph Nwosu.

According to the party, the leadership overhaul is part of its strategy to reposition itself as a formidable opposition force ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The ADC is also aligning with a broader coalition of opposition parties aiming to challenge the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu in the next election cycle.
