Why we lost Anambra, FCT polls – Aregbesola

The National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rauf Aregbesola has revealed the reason ADC lost in the November 25Anambra State governorship election and the February 26 Federal Capital Territory (FCT) area council elections.

He disclosed this during the ongoing ADC national convention on Tuesday.

Aregbesola admitted that the party also struggled internally with weak funding and an unprepared structure, which contributed to its inability to secure victory in both elections.

“Our party participated in the 2025 Anambra State and the February 26 FCT local government election.

“We were not victorious for various reasons, including the fact that our opponents employed the power of incumbency, monetization of the electoral process and misuse of state power.

“On our side, we suffered from poor funding and the general non-readiness of our structure.

“However, we have learnt from this lessons and are ready for forthcoming Ekiti and Osun states governorship elections,” he said.

DAILY POST had reported that during the FCT Area Council elections, APC won 5 seats out of 6, leaving the last for the PDP.
