Peter Obi Officially gets ADC Membership Card

Former Anambra State Governor and presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Saturday obtained his membership card of the African Democratic Congress during the launch of the party’s registration and mobilisation exercise in Anambra State.

The event took place in the state and attracted members of the party as well as supporters from different communities.

The exercise marked the official start of the party’s membership registration and mobilisation drive in the state. During the programme, Obi completed the process required to become a registered member of the African Democratic Congress.

Party members and supporters gathered at the venue to witness the event, which also served as a platform to encourage residents to join the party. The exercise is part of efforts by the ADC to expand its membership base and strengthen its presence across the state.

Obi’s decision to obtain the party’s membership card comes after earlier discussions about his political future. There had been talks suggesting that he might return to the Labour Party, but his action during the registration exercise confirmed his affiliation with the African Democratic Congress.

The development also comes after the former governor had earlier made his intention known to participate in the 2027 presidential election. He has continued consultations with political stakeholders as preparations for the election gradually gather pace.

Obi had previously stated that he would not withdraw from the presidential race despite the political strength of the ruling All Progressives Congress, which currently has many state governors across the country.

According to him, attempts had been made by some individuals to discourage him from contesting, but he maintained that he would continue with his plans.

His participation in the registration exercise in Anambra forms part of the ADC’s ongoing efforts to mobilise supporters ahead of future elections.

The party leadership is working to increase membership and organise its structure in different states as political activities toward the next general elections continue to develop.
