2027: David Mark urges ECOWAS to warn government and INEC against an election crisis

African Democratic Congress (ADC) National Chairman Senator David Mark urged ECOWAS to warn Nigeria’s federal government and electoral commission, INEC, against actions that could spark a crisis during the 2027 general elections. Speaking in Abuja to a regional pre-election fact-finding delegation, he cited ADC concerns about INEC’s preparedness, alleged government control of state institutions and threats of violence attributed to the ruling party. Mark called for free, fair and transparent elections, while mission head Victor Bockarie Foh said the delegation would report the concerns to ECOWAS.
