2027 polls: S-Court to determine PDP, ADC fates today

The Supreme Court will deliver judgments today that will shape the fate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 general elections. Four appeals concerning leadership crises within the two parties will be reviewed, including the validation of the PDP's national convention and the legitimacy of the ADC's leadership. A federal court recently barred the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognizing the congresses led by Mark's executive committee. Reactions to this ruling are mixed, with some viewing it as evidence of state capture.
