A faction of the African Democratic Congress led by David Mark on Wednesday held a closed-door meeting with a group within the Peoples Democratic Party headed by Kabiru Turaki in Abuja.
The talks come at a time when both opposition parties are grappling with internal leadership disputes that have continued to unsettle their structures ahead of future elections.
The development followed a protest earlier in the day by prominent opposition figures, including former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, who led supporters of the ADC to the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Abuja.
The demonstration also attracted notable politicians such as Rauf Aregbesola, Aminu Tambuwal, Dino Melaye and David Mark, who joined in presenting their grievances to the electoral umpire.
Leaders of the ADC accused the commission of partisanship, alleging that it was working in favour of the ruling All Progressives Congress and attempting to frustrate the party’s participation in the 2027 general elections.
However, the electoral body denied the claims, maintaining that its actions were guided strictly by legal provisions and due process.
Tensions within the ADC escalated recently after INEC reportedly delisted David Mark as the party’s National Chairman and Rauf Aregbesola as National Secretary from its official records, a move that has further deepened the leadership crisis within the party.
