ADC Candidates Reject Adamawa Council Election Results
Chairmanship and councillorship candidates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa State have refused to accept the outcome of the local government election held on June 13, 2026.
Speaking to journalists in Yola, the candidates labelled the exercise a charade and called for a fresh, credible poll.
Abubakar Ahmadu, speaking on behalf of the group, said the results announced by the Adamawa State Independent Electoral Commission (ADSIEC) did not reflect the will of the electorate.
“We wish to state emphatically that elections did not hold in all the local government councils across the state on June 13, 2026. We therefore wonder how results were concocted and how winners emerged,” he said.
Ahmadu described the poll as unacceptable and declared that the ADC candidates would not recognise the announced winners.
He further stated that the purported conduct of the Adamawa council poll represents the height of electoral banditry.
The candidates urged democracy advocates and constitutional rights groups to intervene and defend democratic principles in the state.
They also called on ADSIEC to fix a new date for what they described as a credible, transparent and inclusive local government election across Adamawa State.
