The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is working to mend divisions within the party after its recent primaries, as they prepare for the 2027 elections. The party's National Chairman, Senator David Mark, emphasized that winning or losing an election should not determine a member's value in the party. Instead, he wants everyone to feel included and valued. To help with this, the ADC has set up a National Reconciliation and Peace Committee, which will address issues among members, especially those who lost in the primaries. The committee aims to heal any hurt feelings and bring everyone together to create a strong party for the upcoming elections. Senator Mark urged members to focus on unity and avoid actions that could cause further division. He stated that there are no permanent winners or losers in their political family. Similarly, Senator Tunde Ogbeha, the committee's chairman, acknowledged that the primaries have caused some hurt but believes these issues can be resolved. He encouraged members to think about the party's goals over personal ambitions and reassured unsuccessful candidates that there will be future opportunities. The committee will work honestly and transparently to ensure that the party's interests come first. It includes members from different regions to represent the entire party. Overall, the ADC is focused on healing and preparing for a successful election in 2027.
