Abuja, Nigeria –Former Senate President David Mark has reportedly been appointed as the Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), signaling a strategic repositioning by the party and its coalition partners.
Sources within the party revealed that the appointment is part of a broader plan to strengthen the ADC’s structure and influence in the build-up to the next general election. The move is also seen as a calculated step by the coalition to take control of the party’s leadership as part of an emerging political realignment.
