A fresh political force is taking shape on Nigeria’s political landscape as a new coalition, All Democratic Alliance (ADC), officially begins the process of registration ahead of the next general elections. The group is led by heavyweight political figures, including former Senate President David Mark, former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, and respected northern politician Dr. Umar Ardo.
The emerging coalition, which insiders describe as a “rescue platform,” aims to provide Nigerians with a genuine alternative to the existing dominant political parties. According to sources within the group, discussions are already ongoing with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regarding the registration of ADC as a full-fledged political party.
The alliance brings together politicians, technocrats, and policy thinkers from across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones. It is built on a shared belief that Nigeria urgently needs to reset its democratic direction, rebuild public trust, and restore effective governance at all levels.
“This is not just another political party. This is a collective decision to reimagine Nigeria’s future,” a founding member said in a conversation with reporters. “We have seen enough of recycled promises. The ADC will be a platform for capable, credible, and competent Nigerians who are ready to lead with integrity.”
Sources confirm that the group is currently consulting with stakeholders nationwide, with a focus on building strong grassroots support and assembling a national structure that reflects the country’s diversity. Early indicators suggest that the alliance is gaining traction among younger voters, professionals, and former members of both the ruling and opposition parties who feel disillusioned with the current state of politics.
Though the official manifesto is yet to be released, insiders say the ADC will focus on four key pillars: security, economic restructuring, youth development, and national unity. It is also expected to promote internal democracy, discipline, and transparency in candidate selection and leadership processes.
With David Mark bringing legislative experience, Rotimi Amaechi offering executive and political strategy, and Dr. Umar Ardo representing policy depth and grassroots reach, the ADC appears poised to disrupt Nigeria’s traditional political equation.
The coalition is expected to formally unveil its leadership structure and policy agenda in the coming weeks as the 2026 election season gathers momentum. Political watchers say this could signal the beginning of a significant realignment in Nigeria’s political future.
