INEC May Decide ADC Leadership Dispute at Its Next Meeting

INEC may consider the leadership crisis in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) at its next meeting, which could take place on Tuesday or Thursday. The commission has not fixed a date for a decision and says it must first obtain and study the certified copy of the court judgment delivered on November 5. INEC National Commissioner Mohammed Haruna said the commission had received the ADC’s appeal and application for a stay of execution, but had not yet received the certified judgment. He said a decision could be considered after the INEC chairman returns from an official assignment. The Federal High Court judgment nullified the emergence of David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola as national officers and directed INEC to recognise Nafiu Bala Gombe, whose term on the previous National Working Committee was still in effect. The ADC has challenged the ruling at the Court of Appeal and asked INEC to await the outcome.
