INEC Takes Decision On David Mark-Led ADC After Supreme Court Judgment

INEC has decided on David Mark-Led ADC after the Supreme Court judgment.

Philips News reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has updated its official register of political party leadership to reflect former Senate President David Mark as national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), with former Osun State governor Rauf Aregbesola listed as the party’s national secretary.

This online newspaper understands that INEC’s decision followed Thursday’s ruling of the Supreme Court to that effect.

As of 11 pm on Thursday, April 30, 2026, INEC’s website showed Mark heading the ADC, with Aregbesola as national secretary, Dr. Mani Ahmad as national treasurer, Akibu Dalhatu as national financial secretary, and Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor as national legal adviser.

The Supreme Court’s ruling vacated a status quo ante bellum order that had previously frozen the leadership question and directed that related proceedings return to the Federal High Court.
