The National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, has reassured party members of the party’s full participation in the 2027 general elections, downplaying worries over ongoing legal disputes.
Speaking on Wednesday night after receiving an update from the party’s legal team on a recent Federal High Court ruling in Abuja, Mark expressed confidence that all legal hurdles would be resolved in the party’s favour.
“You do not have anything to be afraid of regarding all the litigations before the party,” he said.
“I want to assure you that we shall triumph in all the cases, and we shall be on the ballot for every election.”
He added that the party was fully prepared to pursue all legal options. “We are more than ready for these cases and will do everything within the ambit of the law to surmount every situation,” Mark stated, pledging to personally lead the party through the legal process.
The ADC’s legal team has already initiated an appeal against the judgment and filed for a stay of execution, signaling the party’s determination to challenge the ruling.
Mark’s reassurance came as the party intensifies preparations for the 2027 elections, a period seen as critical for consolidating its political footing.
Party officials say the development is expected to boost confidence among members and supporters while reinforcing the ADC’s resolve to remain a key contender.
Earlier, the legal team briefed Mark and other party leaders on the implications of the court decision and outlined strategies for the cases ahead.
