While INEC said the political party failed in meeting the conditions for a change in leadership, the party said it had fulfilled necessary requirements.
As of Saturday, the commission’s official website still listed Nwosu as National Chairman and Said Abdullahi as National Secretary.
Other listed party officials include Kelvin Alagoa as National Treasurer, Ifeyinwa Ntima as National Financial Secretary, and Barr. Ujunwa Onwuasoeze as National Legal Adviser.
Explaining the reason for not recognising the new leadership of the ADC, INEC’s Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Victoria Eta-Messi, told Sunday PUNCH that the party had not fulfilled the necessary conditions required for the commission to acknowledge the leadership change.
“They have not completed all the processes required for recognition. ADC is yet to provide the commission with sample signatures of the interim Chairman/Secretary,” she said.
According to INEC regulations, political parties are required to submit detailed documentation before any leadership change can be recognised.
This includes formally documented resolutions, verified signatures from authorised officials, and strict adherence to the party’s constitutional procedures.
