Appeal Court Ruling No Threat to ADC Candidates, Party Asserts

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has asserted that a recent Court of Appeal judgment concerning its internal congresses will not impact candidates who emerged through the party's direct primaries. The party issued this clarification on Monday, following the appellate court's ruling in a case related to its internal electoral processes.

According to the ADC, the judgment specifically addresses certain internal congresses and does not invalidate the nominations of candidates selected via direct primaries. The party emphasized its adherence to its established primary election procedures for candidate selection.

This statement aims to preempt any confusion or speculation regarding the eligibility of its candidates in upcoming elections, assuring stakeholders and the public that the party's electoral choices remain firm despite the judicial pronouncement. The ADC maintains that its candidates are on solid ground and their participation is unaffected by the court's decision.
