The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has claimed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is under significant pressure from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding the preparations for the 2027 general elections. This assertion was made by the party's National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, during an interview with The Sun.

The National Spokesman of the African Democratic Congress, Abdullahi, expressed concerns that the 2027 general elections in Nigeria may not take place. He attributed this apprehension to various persistent issues related to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the government led by the All Progressives Congress (APC). Additionally, he highlighted insecurity as a potential factor that could hinder the electoral process.

Ahead of the general elections in Nigeria scheduled for early next year, several bye-elections have taken place across the country, which are viewed as preliminary tests for the upcoming electoral process. These bye-elections are seen as indicators of the political landscape and voter sentiment leading into the larger elections.

Dare Bejide, the governorship candidate for the African Democratic Congress in the Ekiti State election, has alleged incidents of vote buying and physical assault at his polling unit in Ilawe-Ekiti. He made these claims while addressing a team of police officers on patrol in the area, according to African Examiner.

Governor Biodun Oyebanji has responded to critics of his administration following his victory in the June 20 governorship election in Ekiti State. He stated that discussions on social media do not influence election results, emphasizing that electoral success is achieved through performance and direct engagement with the electorate. His comments were made after being declared the winner of the election on Sunday.

Concerns regarding Nigeria's multi-party democracy have intensified due to recent court rulings impacting smaller political parties. These parties are worried that ongoing legal disputes and threats of deregistration may hinder their ability to participate in the upcoming 2027 general elections. This situation has sparked renewed discussions about political inclusion, constitutional rights, and the viability of Nigeria's multi-party system, according to Leadership (NG).
