A faction of the African Democratic Congress, on Sunday, fixed April 3 to 5 for the election of new members of the National Working Committee.
The ADC faction said in a statement that party executives at the ward, LGA, state, and national congresses will be elected through consensus.
In a timetable outlining activities leading up to the national convention, the party said ward congresses will take place on March 19, followed by LGA congresses on March 24, and state congresses on March 28.
The group said the decision was taken to promote unity, inclusivity, and internal cohesion.
“This decision is taken in accordance with the party’s constitution and the Electoral Act 2026 (as amended), in furtherance of its commitment to promoting unity, cohesion, and inclusiveness within the party,” the statement reads.
“The BOT/NWC believes that the consensus approach will foster greater cooperation, understanding, and collective leadership, ultimately strengthening the party’s ability to achieve its goals and objectives.”
The ADC faction also announced the commencement of a membership registration exercise for new members, which will run from March 14 to 25.
The party said new members are expected to register at their respective ward offices and obtain membership cards through the party’s continuous membership registration committee (CMRC).
“This exercise is strictly for new members; existing members are not required to renew their membership at this time,” the party said.
The group said issues arising from the various congresses would be addressed accordingly, with petitions from the national convention expected to be resolved between April 6 and 10.
The ADC faction said the “ongoing electronic membership mobilisation, registration, and revalidation exercise being conducted by the coalition linked to the party” is illegitimate.
