The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has updated its website, listing David Mark as the national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Rauf Aregbesola as national secretary following the judgement of the Supreme Court.
The development, spotted on Thursday evening, reverses
INEC’s earlier decision in early April to remove the Mark-led executive from
its portal, citing the ruling of an appeal court on the leadership crisis in
the ADC.
The Mark-led faction of the ADC and Nafiu Bala, a former
national vice-chairman of the party, have been laying claim to its leadership.
However, earlier today, the Supreme Court directed Mark to
return to the Federal High Court for the hearing and determination of issues
arising from the leadership dispute within the ADC.
Delivering a unanimous judgement, a five-member panel of the
apex court, headed by Mohammed Garba, faulted the order of the court of appeal, which asked parties in the suit to maintain status quo ante bellum.
Following the ruling, the ADC page on the INEC website,
which was taken down initially, now
shows the full list of the party’s leadership led by Mark.
