Legal and faction notes

Party-level caveats

These notes describe the party's OWN registration standing and internal leadership disputes - distinct from any single candidate's party-affiliation status or candidacy status shown on the candidate cards below.

Legal status. The ADC is split three ways (David Mark, Kingsley Ogga, and Nafiu Bala factions) and faces a deregistration suit. The Court of Appeal stayed the Federal High Court's deregistration order pending appeal, so the ADC's registration currently stands. This mirrors the partyLegalCaveat already recorded on Atiku Abubakar's candidate row.
