Former Vice-President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, have held a strategic meeting with the party’s National Working Committee as preparations for the 2027 general elections gather pace.
The meeting, held on Wednesday, involved the David Mark-led ADC National Working Committee, according to the party and reports from the meeting.
Photographs shared by the party showed Atiku, Amaechi and members of the NWC at the gathering.
Campaign preparations
The meeting comes as the ADC prepares to unveil its Presidential Campaign Council, a structure expected to coordinate the party’s campaign activities ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The development reflects the growing focus among political parties on campaign organisation, mobilisation and the coordination of their presidential structures ahead of the election.
Atiku and Amaechi are the ADC’s presidential and vice-presidential candidates respectively.
The party’s National Working Committee is headed by former Senate President David Mark.
Wider political realignment
The ADC has emerged as one of the political platforms attracting prominent opposition figures ahead of the 2027 elections.
The party’s leadership has been working on its organisational structure as it prepares for the campaign period.
Wednesday’s meeting therefore comes at a stage when parties are moving from broader political positioning towards more formal campaign planning.
The forthcoming Presidential Campaign Council is expected to provide the organisational framework for the party’s nationwide campaign activities.
No details of the specific decisions reached at the meeting were publicly disclosed beyond confirmation of the engagement.
