David Mark Appointed Interim ADC Chairman Ahead of 2027 Elections
In a significant political shift, former Senate President David Mark has been named the Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This move is seen as a strategic step to rebrand the party and position it for a stronger influence in Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.
Mark’s appointment signals the end of Chief Okey Ralph Nwosu’s long tenure as the party’s founding national chairman. Nwosu, who has guided the ADC through various electoral challenges, will now step aside to make way for the party’s new leadership direction.
Senator David Mark, a seasoned and respected political figure, is expected to bring much-needed experience and stability to the party. Known for his calm leadership and political savvy, Mark is likely to steer the ADC towards greater prominence, positioning it as a key player in Nigeria’s evolving democracy. His appointment comes at a critical time when the ADC seeks to strengthen its role in the political landscape.
The official announcement of Mark's new role will take place next Wednesday in Abuja, with party officials, media, and stakeholders gathered for the event. Although Chief Nwosu has not confirmed or denied the appointment, he has acknowledged that the ADC is undergoing a leadership transition. He has promised that an official statement will be issued soon to outline the party’s new leadership structure.
While still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Mark’s appointment could signal a shift in alliances, as opposition parties, including the ADC, prepare for coalition talks ahead of the 2027 elections. Mark’s involvement with the ADC could be pivotal in uniting opposition forces to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Nwosu has expressed confidence in Mark’s ability to stabilize and refocus the ADC, praising his leadership and dedication to Nigeria’s progress. With the new leadership in place, the ADC is setting the stage for a new chapter in Nigerian politics.
