The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has scheduled its National Convention for April 14, 2026, as part of preparations for the 2027 Nigerian General Elections.
The party also announced that ward congresses will commence on April 7, followed by local government and state congresses as it begins the process of renewing its leadership structures across the country.
In a statement issued on Saturday and jointly signed by the party’s National Organising Secretary, Prince Chinwdu Idigo, and National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC outlined the approved timetable for the exercise.
According to the statement, polling unit and ward congresses will take place on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, while local government area congresses are scheduled for Thursday, April 9, 2026. The process will culminate in the party’s National Convention on April 14.
The party said the activities are part of its constitutional responsibility to renew leadership structures at all levels, beginning from polling units and wards, through local government and state levels, before the national convention.
ADC also called on members interested in contesting for vacant positions at the ward, local government or state levels to obtain, complete and submit nomination or expression of interest forms through the party’s official platform.
It added that the forms and additional information are available on its website, urging members nationwide to participate actively in the process and adhere to the party’s constitution, guidelines and democratic principles.
