The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed renewed concerns regarding the neutrality of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections. The party's apprehensions come despite a recent Court of Appeal ruling that overturned a Federal High Court decision to deregister it, which ADC views as a significant victory for democracy in Nigeria. The ruling is seen as a validation of the party's legal standing and a boost to its electoral prospects. ADC leaders emphasized the need for INEC to maintain impartiality to ensure free and fair elections. The party's concerns reflect broader anxieties about electoral integrity in the country. As the political landscape evolves, ADC's stance could influence public perception and voter confidence leading up to the elections.
