2027: ADC will be on the ballot; Atiku may not – Kayamo.

Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will participate in the 2027 general elections despite the court ruling voiding the party’s David Mark-led leadership and the nomination of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
Keyamo, however, said candidates nominated under the Mark-led faction, including Atiku, might not appear on the ballot, depending on the final decision of the Supreme Court.
The minister stated this in a post on X on Sunday while reacting to concerns that the Federal High Court judgment could prevent the ADC from participating in the elections. “For the education of the public, those raising false alarm that the court judgment on ADC means the Party will not be on the ballot are spreading misinformation,” he wrote. It is the David Mark faction of candidates, including Atiku Abubakar, that may not be on the ballot, depending on the final judgment of the Supreme Court.” The Federal High Court in Abuja had, on Thursday, nullified the Mark-led leadership of the ADC and invalidated decisions taken by the faction, including the presidential primary that produced Atiku as the party’s candidate for the 2027 election. The party has vowed to appeal the judgment.
