The African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Kaduna State has released the results of its Senatorial District primary elections, alongside the House of Representatives and select State House of Assembly contests.
The announcement positions the party’s candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections, as the ADC continues to gain traction as the platform adopted by the growing opposition coalition.
The results were presented at a press conference in Kaduna by the Kaduna State Primary Elections Committee, chaired by Dr. Ladan Salihu.

“This is to certify that all aspirants contained in this release are duly elected as winners of the various primary elections. They are consequently declared as candidates of the African Democratic Congress Party in the 2027 elections,” Dr. Salihu stated.
