The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has said that it is under pressure to zone its presidential ticket in 2027.
The ADC’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Jackie Wayas, said in an interview that the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC, holds the final decision on zoning or rotation of the presidential ticket.
Wayas also disclosed that the ADC is deliberating on either adopting zoning or an open primary system in deciding its presidential flag bearer.
“There is a lot of pressure to zone and, at the same time, not to zone the presidential ticket.
“There can only be one presidential candidate on the ballot come 2027 from the ADC, and the final decision on zonal rotation or open competition will definitely come down to our internal party negotiation and NEC guidelines,” she said.
Wayas said that ADC’s foremost priority is rescuing Nigeria from its current challenges and placing the nation’s interest above all. Meanwhile, the ADC has assured Nigerians that prominent political leaders, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rotimi Amaechi, will remain united in their mission to transform the country, regardless of who eventually secures the party’s presidential ticket for the 2027 elections.
