Nigeria's two main opposition parties, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), are grappling with severe internal crises, including disputed primaries and lingering court battles. These issues have raised doubts about their ability to mount a credible challenge against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in next year's general elections. The ADC, in particular, is struggling with multiple court disputes over its internal leadership and candidate selection processes. With 21 registered parties in Nigeria, the opposition's fragmentation could further consolidate the APC's hold on power.
