The update, according to reports, follows the party’s national convention held in Abuja.

The development comes amid earlier concerns over leadership tussles within the party, as political groups intensify preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.

A review of INEC’s portal also shows Baba-Ahmed alongside other members of the National Working Committee (NWC).

Other officials recognised include Kanu Sunday Uchenna as National Secretary, Bayawo Yunusa Abdullahi as National Treasurer, Chuka Patrick as National Financial Secretary, and Vincent Danladi Okudu as National Legal Adviser.

Reacting to the update, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Bello Ishaq, welcomed the recognition and dismissed suggestions of internal crisis.

He said, “The update signifies INEC’s recognition of PRP’s new leadership following the successful convention.”

He further added, “It is important to categorically state that there is no such thing as a faction within the PRP; the claims are baseless.”

During the convention, Baba-Ahmed was elected alongside other national officers, including Mallam Buhari Haruna as Deputy National Chairman (North) and Haruna Nanven as National Organising Secretary.

The party also inaugurated zonal representatives across various regions of the country.

The party also disclosed that it will release its primaries timetable within the week, despite facing ongoing internal challenges.

This was made known by the party’s National Organising Secretary, Chinedu Idigo, during an interview in Abuja on Friday.

Idigo explained that prolonged internal disputes and legal battles had disrupted the party’s electoral preparations, significantly reducing the time available for planning.

He stated, “The prolonged legal battle cost us valuable time. It is only fair that INEC provides a window for the ADC to conduct credible primaries for all aspirants.”

Despite the setbacks, he assured that the party is actively pushing ahead with its internal arrangements.

“We are working round the clock, and we will be releasing our primary timetable within the week,” he added.

The ADC further urged INEC to uphold fairness in the electoral process by making allowances for parties affected by unforeseen delays.

According to Idigo, the commission has a duty to ensure a level playing field for all political parties.

He also revealed that the party has experienced significant expansion, claiming over four million Nigerians have registered via its online membership platform.

“As it stands today, the ADC is fast becoming one of the largest political platforms in Nigeria’s democratic history,” he said.

Idigo reiterated the party’s determination to defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) in future elections.

“We are fully prepared to dislodge the APC, regardless of whatever stumbling blocks may be placed on our path to victory,” he declared.

He further described the recent Supreme Court ruling on the party’s leadership as a major relief that has strengthened its stability.

“We will continue to pursue policies that serve the best interests of Nigerians and work towards building a just and egalitarian society,” Idigo concluded.
