In a bold political move that has taken many by surprise, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai have officially applied to INEC for the registration of a brand new political party named the All Democratic Alliance (ADA).
This alliance marks a rare coming together of two powerful figures from different ends of Nigeria’s political spectrum, signaling a possible realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Sources close to the opposition coalition reveal that the new party is designed to serve as a fresh alternative to both the ruling APC and existing opposition platforms. The move is already generating buzz among young voters, political analysts, and civil society groups who are calling for new leadership.
INEC has acknowledged receipt of the application and is expected to begin the verification process soon.
All eyes are now on ADA—could this be the third force Nigeria has been waiting for?
