The Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, says the party on his watch will not tolerate candidates’ imposition, anti-party activities, and other forms of indiscipline.
Mark made this known at the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja on Tuesday, July 29, 2025.

Mark also promised to serve the party with integrity, transparency, courage, and vision.
He acknowledged the patriotism, sacrifices, and dedication of the outgoing National Chairman, Ralph Nwosu, and his team, whom he lauded for building the ADC over the years and for relinquishing party leadership in the interest of the country.
Mark also commended all ADC leaders and loyal members who contributed to the party’s growth, assuring them that his leadership would be fair and just.
The chairman stated: “I assure you that under my leadership, we shall be committed to full democratic practices and principles that abhor imposition and special privileges. Internal democracy, transparency, and accountability will be our mantra.
“We will guarantee collective leadership at all levels. We will build a technically competent bureaucracy for the party and ensure structured financing. All members will truly own the party.
“We shall revamp our grassroots leadership structures to reflect modern realities. From the polling units, wards up to the national level, every organ will be re-energised.”
Mark also promised inclusion for the youth and women, saying: “Our policies, nominations, and leadership roles will reflect meaningful inclusion of youths and women and not just tokenism.
“This is why we have reserved 35 per cent of our leadership positions for women. It is also our commitment to have youths below the age of 40 years in our leadership.”
He disclosed that the new National Working Committee (NWC) would, within the shortest possible time, raise committees to review the party’s manifesto and constitution to meet and reflect the aspirations of Nigerians.
