The Nigeria National Coalition Group (NNCG) has formally applied to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) seeking to register a new political party ahead of the 2027 general elections in Nigeria.

The request was contained in an application letter, dated 19th June, 2025, and was stamped received by INEC on 20 June, 2025.

Naija News reports that the name of the proposed political party is All Democratic Alliance (ADA).

According to Vanguard, the letter was signed by the association’s Protem National Chairman, Chief Akin A. Rickets.

The request contained the acronym, slogan, logo, manifesto, constitution and ideology of the proposed party.

The letter read in part: “Application For Registration As A Political Party.

“We respectfully write to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, requesting the registration of our association, the All Democratic Alliance, ADA, as a political party.

“This is sequel to the decision taken by the Nigerian National Coalition Group to sponsor our association for full registration.

“The name of the party shall be All Democratic Alliance with ADA as our acronym and ‘Justice for All’ as our slogan.

“The National Secretariat of the party is as stated at the bottom of the association’s letterhead used in this application.

“We have also herewith attached our logo describing in details the symbolism of our party colours and their configuration and the corn (Maize).

“We have further attached our manifesto encompassing details of our party ideology, and our constitution providing the legal framework that defines our identity, structures and organization, regulates our affairs and guides our actions in alignment with Section 40 and 222 of the Constitution, Section 75 of the Electoral Act (2022) and global democratic principles and objectives.

“Please find attached the following documents: our party flag depicting our name, acronym and slogan, manifesto, constitution and minutes of meeting.

“While we eagerly await further action from the commission on the next step forward towards attaining our desired goal, please accept the consideration of our highest respect.

“Thank you yours most sincerely; Chief Akin A. Rickets, Protem National Chairman.”

It is understood that the members of the anti-Tinubu coalition include: Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar; ex-Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi; his Kaduna State counterpart, Nasir El-Rufai; the convener of the League of Northern Democrats, Dr. Umar Ardo, and a host of others.

The decision to register a new political party follows the submission of a report by a committee headed by Amaechi, which recommended the registration of a new political party instead of using the platform of an existing party to fulfil its dream of unseating President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.
