Fresh developments within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) indicate that Senator David Mark has reportedly agreed to step aside as interim national chairman, paving the way for former party chairman Ralph Nwosu to take charge of the leadership process ahead of the party’s national convention.
The move comes amid the ongoing leadership dispute and growing pressure over the legality of the current structure following recent actions by INEC.
Party insiders say the decision is aimed at stabilising the ADC and allowing the convention process to move forward under a familiar leadership figure. Ralph Nwosu, who previously handed over the party structure to David Mark, is now expected to supervise the convention and help resolve internal tensions as the opposition coalition prepares for the 2027 elections.
The development has already triggered strong reactions within political circles, with many seeing it as a major twist in the ADC’s power struggle.
