National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, has reassured party members that the party will fully participate in the 2027 general elections despite ongoing legal disputes.
Mark gave the assurance on Wednesday night after receiving a briefing from the party’s legal team on the implications of a recent ruling by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Dismissing concerns over the litigation, he maintained that the party remains firmly on course to contest all positions in the next electoral cycle.
“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.”
The former Senate President also stressed the party’s readiness to pursue every legal avenue available to overturn the judgment.

“We are more than ready for these cases and will do everything within the ambit of the law to surmount every situation,” he added, pledging to personally lead the legal efforts.
The party’s legal team has already filed an appeal against the court decision and submitted an application for a stay of execution, signalling its determination to challenge the ruling.
The development comes at a critical time as the African Democratic Congress intensifies preparations for the 2027 elections, widely seen as pivotal to its political ambitions.
Party insiders say Mark’s assurance is expected to boost morale among members and reinforce confidence in the party’s ability to weather legal challenges while remaining a key player in the electoral process.
The ADC has in recent weeks been embroiled in internal and legal disputes, including court rulings affecting its congresses, but party leaders insist these will not derail its participation in the upcoming polls.
