Party leaders have reportedly been unable to reach a final agreement among three leading contenders, Rotimi Amaechi, Atiku Abubakar, and Mohammed Hayatu-Deen.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has postponed its presidential screening exercise from Monday to Wednesday following internal disagreements over the party’s preferred consensus candidate ahead of the vote.
Party leaders have reportedly been unable to reach a final agreement among three leading contenders, Rotimi Amaechi, Atiku Abubakar, and Mohammed Hayatu-Deen.
Sources within the party said the postponement was driven by ongoing consultations and negotiations among key stakeholders, as efforts continue to rally behind a consensus candidate seen as capable of strengthening the ADC’s chances and mounting a strong challenge against Bola Tinubu in the general election.
The postponement is expected to give party officials more time to resolve differences and prevent divisions within the party leadership and delegates ahead of the rescheduled Wednesday primary.
