ADC reveals plan to protect votes ahead of 2027 election

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) says it will not depend entirely on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to protect its votes during the 2027 general election.

The party said it has already made plans to ensure that every vote cast for its candidates is protected.

ADC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, made this known on Wednesday in Ilorin, Kwara State, while speaking to journalists during a road walk organised to create awareness about the party and its preparations for the 2027 elections.

Abdullahi said that although there are honest officials within INEC, elections should not be based on trust alone.
He explained that the party lost confidence in the electoral body after the 2023 general election.

“We know what INEC is capable of. We trusted the commission during the 2023 general election, but the outcome left us disappointed. We will not make the same mistake again by relying only on trust,” he said.

He added that the ADC is determined to protect its votes across the country and will not leave the outcome of the election to chance.

Abdullahi also expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu would lose the 2027 election, saying the party would ensure that every valid vote for its candidates counts.

While he did not reveal the party’s strategy, he said the ADC has a clear plan to defend its votes during the election.
