WE DID’T REAFFIRM DAVID MARK’S LEADERSHIP OF ADC – INEC

November 7, 2026 • Dons Eze • 1 min read

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has debunked reports that it has re-affirmed Senator David Mark-led leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

INEC, in a statement on Friday, clarified that posters claiming it has re-affirmed the David Mark leadership after Thursday’s court judgment, which invalidated his leadership, are false.

The Commission added that the poster in circulation did not originate from it and urged members of the public to disregard it.

“The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wishes to alert the public that a poster and accompanying text circulating on social media, claiming that the Commission has “reaffirmed” a Senator David Mark-led leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), are fake.

“The said poster did not originate from the Commission. The use of INEC’s logo and the image of the National Commissioner, Mohammed Haruna, in the said publication is unauthorized.

“For the avoidance of doubt, INEC has issued no such reaffirmation.

“Members of the public are therefore advised to disregard the publication in its entirety and to rely only on information from INEC’s official and verified channels,” the INEC statement read.
