Former Minister of Sports and member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Solomon Dalung, has dismissed claims that the ADC is an association, insisting it remains a registered political party.
Dalung, who spoke on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Monday, said the party has been in existence for over 19 years and is currently undergoing a transition process that includes the incorporation of coalition elements into its structure.
He explained that the process involves proper documentation and the transfer of signature specimens of new leaders to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. According to him, this would enable INEC to conclude its own procedures.
Dalung stressed that the party was committed to complying with the requirements of the law and that there was no cause for alarm.
“The ADC and the coalition movement are out to rescue the country. They cannot afford not to comply with the requirements of law, because injustice, impunity, and lack of internal democracy were the things that had jeopardized our democracy,” he said.
He maintained that there was “no panic whatsoever” as the transition process was still ongoing.
