APC rejects ADC’s accusations over INEC’s delisting decision
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied claims by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) that it influenced the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to delist the ADC’s David Mark-led National Working Committee. APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, called the allegations irresponsible and said the ADC’s problems are internal. The ADC leadership crisis has led to multiple court cases and uncertainty within the party. The APC insists that INEC’s decision was based on a valid court order and not external interference.
