Court voids congresses conducted by Mark-led NWC
The hanging fate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will be decided today by Supreme Court.

The Apex court has fixed today to deliver judgment on the party’s leadership crisis.

But the dispute deepened yesterday with a verdict by the Federal High Court in Abuja voiding congresses conducted by a faction of the party.

The apex court will, by 2 pm, rule on three appeals, including one filed by former Senate President David Mark, on the leadership structure of the ADC.

It was learnt that the apex court’s registry has since communicated the information to the parties.

A five-member panel of the court, led by Justice Mohammed Garba, had reserved judgment on April 22 after hearing arguments from parties, informing counsel that a date would be communicated.

While two of the appeals relate to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the third – filed by Mark – has drawn particular attention because of its implications for the ADC’s internal power struggle and its readiness for the next electoral cycle.

A day before the Supreme Court’s decision, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising or participating in any congresses conducted by committees set up by the David Mark-led Caretaker/Interim National Working Committee of the party.
