A faction of Nigeria’s African Democratic Congress (ADC) dissolves its David Mark-led National Working Committee (NWC) and announces Dumebi Kachikwu as its presidential candidate for the 2027 election, according to reports from Premium Times and The Punch. Both outlets state that the move is made by a faction loyal to Kachikwu and that the dissolved leadership is the NWC associated with David Mark. Premium Times additionally describes the faction as declaring Kachikwu its sole presidential candidate, while The Punch similarly reports that the faction dissolves the NWC and names him as the candidate. The reports describe the faction’s decision as internal to the ADC and do not indicate immediate involvement by external bodies or outcomes from any court or electoral authority. Details on the faction’s broader party structure, reasons for dissolving the committee, or how other ADC stakeholders respond are not provided in the shared excerpts. The announcements are presented as a change in the faction’s leadership and candidate selection ahead of the 2027 general election.
