African Democratic Congress

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is a political party in Nigeria.[1] As of 2022, Ralph Nwosu is the National Chairman.[2] There are 2 ADC lawmakers currently in the Nigerian National Assembly.[3] There are no ADC senators in the Nigerian Senate.[4][3]

History

The party was originally named "Alliance for Democratic Change" when it was formed in 2005, but renamed the African Democratic Congress by the time the party was registered with the Nigerian Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).[5] The goal of this name change was for the party to be able "to effectively encompass and reflect the aspirations of our people."[6][7]

On 10 May 2018, the party was adopted by former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo's political movement called the "Coalition for Nigeria Movement" (CNM).[8] Obasanjo now serves as the chairman for the party. Per his speech titled "My Treatise For Future Of Democracy And Development In Nigeria", the goal of the CNM adopting the ADC was "to work with others for bringing about desirable change in the Nigeria polity and governance".[9]

Constitution

The African Democratic Congress outlines the details of the party and its workings.[10] The party constitution contains a preamble, 27 articles, and three schedules.[11] According to the constitution, the goal of the ADC is to be a "grassroots party" composed primarily of working-class and disadvantaged Nigerians.[11] The constitution also outlines that membership of the ADC party is open to "every citizen of Nigeria irrespective religion, ethnic group, place of birth, sex, social or economic status".[11]

In the 2019 Nigerian Presidential Election, the ADC put forth candidate Obadiah Mailafia. He obtained 97,874 votes and placed 4th out of 73 candidates in the election.[16]

For the selection of their candidates for the 2023 Nigerian Presidential Election, the ADC used the Indirect Primary method in which only accredited delegates participated in the nomination of candidates that would run on the platform of the party at the 2023 Nigerian general election.[17] On 9 June 2022, the African Democratic Congress selected Dumebi Kachikwu as the candidate for the 2023 Nigerian general election Nigerian general elections.[18]
