The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has updated its official register of political party leadership to reflect former Senate President David Mark as national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), with former Osun State governor Rauf Aregbesola listed as the party’s national secretary.
The decision followed Thursday’s ruling of the Supreme Court to that effect.
The action on Thursday night reverses INEC’s earlier decision in early April to remove the Mark-led executive from its portal, citing the ruling of an appeal court on the leadership crisis in the ADC.
As of Thursday night, INEC’s website showed Mark heading the ADC, with Aregbesola occupying the position of national secretary, Dr. Mani Ahmad as national treasurer, Akibu Dalhatu as national financial secretary, and Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor as national legal adviser.

The apex court’s ruling vacated a status quo ante bellum order that had previously frozen the leadership question and directed that related proceedings return to the Federal High Court.
