{{context|date=November 2018}}{{short description|Political party in Nigeria}}The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is a political party in Nigeria.[1] The party was originally named "Alliance for Democratic Change" when it was formed in 2005, but changed to the African Democratic Congress by the time the party was registered with the Nigerian Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).[2] The goal of this name change was for the party to be able "to effectively encompass and reflect the aspirations of our people."[3] The ADC headquarters is located in Abuja, Nigeria, but there are plans for the office to relocate in 2019.[1][4] The party constitution states that the goal of the party is to create a grass root organization, of and for Nigerians.[5] For the selection of their candidates for the 2019 Nigerian general election, the ADC used the method of party members directly electing candidates during the primaries.[6] On 24 September 2018, the African Democratic Congress selected senator Abdulaziz Nyako as the candidate for the 2019 Nigerian general elections.[7]

On 10 May 2018, the party was adopted by former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo's political movement called the "Coalition for Nigeria Movement" (CNM).[8] Obasanjo now serves as the chairman for the party. As per his speech titled "My Treatise For Future Of Democracy And Development In Nigeria", the goal of the CNM adopting the ADC party was "to work with others for bringing about desirable change in the Nigeria polity and governance". There are ADC representatives for every state in Nigeria.[9]

As of 2015, there are 5 ADC party members in the Nigerian National Assembly.[10] They are all members of the House of Representatives and represent constituencies in the Oyo State.[10] There are no ADC party members currently in the Nigerian Senate.[11]

ADC Constitution

The African Democratic Congress outlines the details of the party and its workings.[12] The constitution contains a preamble, 27 articles, and 3 schedules.[5] According to the constitution, the goal of the ADC is to be a "grass root" party, composed primarily of working-class and disadvantaged Nigerians.[5] The constitution also outlines that membership to the ADC party is open to "every citizen of Nigeria irrespective religion, ethnic group, place of birth, sex, social or economic status", once they are over 18 years old, not an active public officer, and do not belong to any other political party in Nigeria (membership is extended to those who renounce other party affiliations).[5] Monthly dues for membership in the ADC is 200.00 NGN.[13]
