The ADC faces legal challenges after a court ruled against recognizing their leadership, but INEC's portal still lists former Senate President David Mark as their chairman.The party also disputes INEC's rejection of Nafiu Bala Gombe's claim about uploading candidates.Meanwhile, the Accord Party awaits a court ruling to confirm its presidential candidate, Gbenga Hashim, as the rightful nominee.INEC continues processing submissions as political parties race to meet the deadline for the 2027 elections.
