ADC support group alleges ruling party trying to block ballot access

Grassroots Mobilization Network, ADC support group, raises concerns over legal disputes affecting party's electoral participation, alleging 'ruling party doesn't want anyone on the ballot.' Spokesperson Peter Emeka made the allegations Saturday in Abuja, urging judiciary to uphold fairness in handling ADC vs Nafui Bala leadership cases. The ADC and Nafui Bala leadership dispute has generated multiple court cases across different jurisdictions, with one matter expected for hearing in coming days. Emeka stressed that judicial decisions on politically sensitive matters must strengthen public trust and follow established precedents. Legal experts note this case could significantly impact ADC's participation in 2027 elections if leadership dispute remains unresolved. The party faces 'make or mar' judgment in deregistration legal battle alongside Accord, APP, AAP, ZLP parties. Should electoral bodies prioritize party stability matters over ensuring diverse ballot choices in democratic processes?
