#BREAKING: New Political Coalition Emerges — All Democratic Alliance (ADA) Applies for INEC Registration

A new political movement known as the All Democratic Alliance (ADA) has officially emerged as a coalition front of prominent politicians ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.

The group, made up of influential figures such as former Senate President David Mark, former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, and Dr. Umar Ardo, has submitted a formal application to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) seeking registration as a political party.

According to documents received by INEC on June 20, 2025, the coalition submitted the party name, proposed logo, slogan (Justice for All), constitution, and manifesto in line with electoral guidelines.

Sources within the political movement confirmed that the decision followed months of intense deliberations by the Nigeria National Coalition Group (NNCG) a bloc that includes Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai, Babatunde Fashola, Rochas Okorocha, and others.

Initially, the group had considered adopting an existing party platform like the African Democratic Congress (ADC) or the Social Democratic Party (SDP). However, a high level committee chaired by Amaechi recommended launching a fresh platform to ensure a level playing field for all stakeholders.

With David Mark serving as the coalition’s interim chairman, ADA is expected to galvanize support across the country as a third force alternative, particularly among those disenchanted with both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

A senior member of the coalition stated, “We believe ADA will restore the principles of equity, justice, and inclusive governance. This is more than a party; it’s a rescue mission.”

INEC, meanwhile, is currently reviewing dozens of party registration applications and has not yet made a formal decision on ADA’s status.

The emergence of ADA marks what could be a significant shift in Nigeria’s political landscape as the nation inches closer to another electoral cycle.
