The statement said that the polling unit and ward Congresses would hold on April 7, followed by local government area congresses on April 9 and state congresses on April 11.
It disclosed that the process would culminate in the party’s National Convention scheduled for April 14.
The party advised members interested in contesting vacant positions to obtain and submit the relevant nomination or expression of interest forms through the official ADC website.

It urged members nationwide to participate in the process and conduct themselves in accordance with the constitution, guidelines, and democratic values of the ADC.
Also, a faction of the party, led by Nafi’u Bala, has fixed April 3 to 5 for the election of new members of the national working committee (NWC).
