The African Democratic Congress on Monday began its presidential primary ahead of the 2027 general elections, with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi participating in the nationwide exercise.
The primary, which is being conducted across 8,809 wards in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, follows the party’s adoption of a direct primary method after its three presidential aspirants reportedly declined calls to step down for a consensus candidate.
Atiku, in a post on Monday, said he joined other party members in casting his vote at the Ajiya Ward Polling Unit in Jimeta, Yola, Adamawa State, describing the exercise as a demonstration of democracy.
“I joined other prospective voters of the African Democratic Congress in our party’s presidential primaries in casting my vote at the Ajiya Ward Polling Unit in Jimeta Yola, Adamawa State.
