The African Democratic Congress has scheduled its National Convention for April 14, 2026, with ward congresses set to commence on April 7, followed by local government and state congresses as part of preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The party said the exercise is part of its constitutional obligation to renew leadership structures across all levels of the organisation, beginning from polling units and wards, moving through local government and state levels, and culminating in the National Convention.

In a statement jointly signed by the party’s National Organising Secretary, Prince Chinwdu Idigo, and National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, on Saturday, the party released the approved timetable for the congresses.

“Polling Unit and Ward Congresses: Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Local Government Area Congresses: Thursday, April 9, 2026

“State Congresses: Saturday, April 11, 2026. National Convention: Tuesday, April 14, 2026.”

The party also urged members interested in contesting vacant positions at the ward, local government, or state levels to obtain, download, complete and submit the appropriate nomination or expression of interest forms through its official platform.

It added that the forms and further details are available on the party’s website, encouraging members nationwide to actively participate in the exercise.

“Forms and further information are available via the official ADC website: www.adc.org.ng

“ADC also urged all party members nationwide to participate actively in the process and to conduct themselves in accordance with the constitution, guidelines and democratic values of the African Democratic Congress,” the statement added.
