The African Democratic Congress Democratic Party (ADC) in Kaduna State has distanced itself from reports claiming it has entered into a coalition with the Social Democratic Party (SDP) ahead of the August 16, 2025, bye-election in the Kajuru/Chikun Federal Constituency/Zaria and Sabon Gari Constituency.
A statement signed on Thursday night by the State Chairman, Hon. Ahmad Tijjani Mustapha alleged that H. E Nasiru el-Rufai, is neither a member nor an official of the ADC.
His statement suggesting that his party the SDP formed an alliance with the ADC were described as false and attributed as attempting to mislead the public.
“The ADC in Kaduna State and SDP is not into any coalition nor in any alliance with any political party in Kaduna State,” he stated.
“There is no any official political alliance or coalition between the two political parties either written or verbal,” he added.
The ADC chairman urged the public to disregard the misleading statement, warning that such actions could undermine the party’s prospects in the upcoming elections.
He also indicated that the incident would be reported to the appropriate authorities, as this contravene the party’s constitution. The ADC constitution clearly stated that no individual or member will belong to two political parties.
He urged residents for Chikun/ Kajuru house of Representatives, Zaria Kewaye and Basawa State Assembly bye elections to ignore the “false claims” and come out enmass to vote only ADC candidates.
He also appealed to party members not to be distracted and to remain law-abiding and comply with all Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regulations before, during, and after the elections.
