ADC Presidential Primary: Atiku Leading Amaechi, Hayatu-Deen by Wide Margin in Edo, Ondo, Oyo
Early results from the ADC's direct presidential primary showed Atiku Abubakar ahead as Mohammed Hayatu-Deen boycotted the collation over alleged rigging.
- Former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi won the African Democratic Congress presidential primary held Monday, defeating former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and economist Mohammed Hayatu-Deen in the three-way contest.
- Amid growing political realignments ahead of 2027, tensions surfaced within the ADC over the primary process, with concerns emerging over alleged manipulation of membership registers and interference by influential blocs before voting commenced.
- With 3.44 million verified members voting across 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, the exercise was monitored by Independent National Electoral Commission officials, though only eleven states' results had been received by collation time.
- Hayatu-Deen rejected the primary on Tuesday, claiming "what was meant to be a democratic process has sadly been reduced to manipulation," while National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi said the party lacked evidence pending full collation.
- Political observers warn the controversy could test the coalition's unity if aggrieved aspirants challenge the outcome, as the ADC attempts to position itself as the main opposition platform ahead of 2027.
