INEC to Review Ruling That Nullified Atiku’s ADC 2027 Ticket

INEC says it will review the Federal High Court ruling affecting the African Democratic Congress and Atiku Abubakar’s 2027 presidential ticket at its next weekly meeting. The commission says it will first obtain and study the certified copy of the judgment before taking an official position, and will comply with any further court orders, including a stay of execution if one is granted on appeal. The Abuja court ruling nullified the caretaker leadership committee led by David Mark, finding that its formation breached the ADC constitution and relevant laws. It also invalidated actions taken by the committee, including Atiku’s selection as the party’s 2027 flag bearer and other candidate nominations. The case was brought by former ADC Deputy National Chairman Nafiu Bala Gombe.
