National Chairman of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, has warned political actors against turning elections into a do-or-die contest, saying the credibility of the 2027 general election must be non-negotiable.

Speaking in Abuja while receiving a delegation from the International Republican Institute (IRI), headquartered in the United States, on a pre-election assessment mission, Mark said Nigerians must be allowed to choose their leaders freely, without violence, intimidation, manipulation, or the abuse of state institutions.

The warning came against the backdrop of the violence recorded during the recent Osun State governorship election, where no fewer than 30 people were reportedly killed.
