According to a report by Daily Post on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has disclosed that the Nigerian Democratic Congress and the African Democratic Congress may still work together ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Kwankwaso made the statement on Monday during a live interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme while discussing recent political developments, coalition talks, and his political alignment with former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.
According to him, political discussions and consultations are continuing among different opposition figures as parties begin preparations for the next election cycle.
Kwankwaso explained that despite his departure from the ADC, the possibility of future cooperation between the party and the NDC remains open.
He stated that ongoing political discussions across the country have created room for different parties and political leaders to explore alliances that could strengthen their chances in future elections.
According to him, political parties are increasingly considering broader cooperation because many politicians believe the country is entering another important political period that may require stronger collaboration among opposition groups.
He added that the political environment remains dynamic, with many developments still unfolding ahead of 2027.
