ADC chieftain Solomon Dalung has urged the party leadership to suspend the reported inauguration of caretaker committee members until pending legal disputes before the Supreme Court are resolved.
A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Solomon Dalung, has cautioned the party’s leadership against proceeding with the inauguration of caretaker committee members whose appointments are reportedly connected to ongoing appeals before the Supreme Court.
Dalung, who serves as Director of the Mandate Protection Directorate of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, expressed his concerns in a video, questioning the decision to proceed with the appointments while related legal matters remain unresolved.
He warned that the party could expose itself to fresh internal disagreements and prolonged litigation if it failed to take the pending court proceedings into consideration.
Dalung Questions Party Leadership’s Decision
The ADC chieftain expressed disappointment over what he described as a failure to learn from previous legal challenges involving the party.
According to him, the National Secretary proceeded with the reported appointments despite the existence of pending appeals before the apex court.
Dalung argued that party officials should exercise caution and avoid decisions that could undermine the judicial process or create additional grounds for disputes.
He called on the ADC leadership to suspend the planned inauguration until the courts have resolved the outstanding legal issues.
Rule of Law and Internal Party Stability
Dalung’s intervention comes amid continuing concerns about leadership disagreements and internal stability within the ADC.
His warning highlights the potential political and legal consequences of proceeding with disputed party arrangements while litigation remains unresolved.
As political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections, the ADC faces the challenge of maintaining unity, strengthening its internal structures and resolving disagreements through established legal and party procedures.
Whether the party leadership will heed Dalung’s advice remains to be seen.
