ADC Constitutes Caretaker Committees, Extends NWC Tenure By One Year
The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has approved the constitution of caretaker committees at the zonal, state, local government and ward levels across the country, while also extending the tenure of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) by 12 months.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that the decisions were contained in a public notice issued at the end of the party’s 101st NEC meeting and signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi.
According to the notice, the NEC approved the extension of the NWC’s tenure for a period of one year from the expiration of its current mandate.
The committee also approved the constitution of caretaker committees at the zonal, state, local government and ward levels for a period of 12 months.
In another major decision, the NEC ratified the results of all recently conducted party primaries for State Houses of Assembly, National Assembly, governorship and presidential elections, except those with pending appeals as of May 29, 2026, and those yet to be concluded.
The party further declared former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, a prisoner of conscience and called for his immediate release.
The resolutions were adopted during the 101st meeting of the NEC held at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.
The latest decisions are expected to shape the party’s preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections, particularly with the renewal of the NWC’s mandate and the establishment of caretaker structures across the federation.
