Verified Public Declaration
Source: Won the ADC presidential primary, 27 May 2026 (1.85m votes).
Party status: Deregistration ordered — stayed on appeal. A Federal High Court ordered INEC to deregister the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in 2026. The Court of Appeal stayed that order on 16 June 2026, so the party remains registered while its appeal is heard — its candidates stay on the ballot for now. Status may change. Read the court report.
