The All Democratic Alliance (ADA) has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of failing to register them as a political party despite meeting the requirements. ADA's key promoter, Umar Ardo, stated that they provided INEC with all necessary documents, but the commission has not taken further action ¹.
ADA was among the 14 associations pre-qualified by INEC in September 2025 to proceed to the next stage of registration. However, INEC has not officially registered the party, sparking controversy and allegations of bias ² ³.
Some prominent figures, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former governors Nasir el-Rufai and Rotimi Amaechi, are associated with ADA. The party's registration process has been uncertain, with some key sponsors joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ⁴ ⁵.
