ABUJA — A total of 17 members of the House of Representatives have defected from the African Democratic Congress to the National Democratic Congress, while one lawmaker moved to the All Progressives Congress.
The wave of defections marks a significant shift in the political landscape within the lower chamber, raising fresh questions about party loyalty and realignments ahead of future elections.
Details surrounding the lawmakers’ reasons for leaving the ADC were not immediately disclosed, but political observers say the development may be linked to ongoing internal dynamics and strategic repositioning among parties.
The move is expected to impact the balance of power in the House, as parties continue to consolidate influence and prepare for upcoming political contests.
