The African Democratic Congress (ADC) party in Ebonyi State has expressed readiness to actively participate in next year’s local government and councilorship elections in the state and win positions

The state electoral body, EBSIEC, has fixed the elections for August 26, 2025.

ADC also said it would participate fully in the 2027 general elections.

State Chairman of the party Dr Jennifer Adibe-Nwafor disclosed this to journalists in Abakaliki, the state capital.

She said the party has registered over 5000 members and was harmonising its structures at local government and ward levels ahead of the elections.

“ADC aims to change the current situation in Nigeria and offers solutions through its agenda and manifesto.

“The party is focused on issue-based politics and is open to new members and defectors from other parties. There are over nineteen political parties in Ebonyi State, with ADC being one of the opposition parties.

“ADC plans to participate in the local government elections scheduled for next year. Currently, there are no security threats to ADC, and the party is prepared to address any future issues.

“The party believes that vote buying in recent elections did not reflect its performance.

“ADC expects to gain more members, including senators and assembly members, before the next primaries. The party is confident about winning positions in the 2027 elections. ADC encourages individuals to join freely, emphasising freedom of association in Nigeria.

“The party assures potential members that their mandates will be protected. ADC has been receiving interest from politicians and expects more to join soon.

“The party is not threatened by the ruling party and remains committed to its core values. ADC is actively engaging with coalition partners and organising seminars and meetings,” she said.
