Fresh Twist As Kwankwasiyya Leaders Consider New Alliance After ADC Court Ruling

This was contained in a statement issued on Friday and signed by the movement’s spokesperson, Habibu Sale Mohammed.

The group commended the Supreme Court for what it described as courage and clarity in addressing the dispute, saying the judgment upholding due process was a step in the right direction.

According to the movement, the ruling—which nullified earlier decisions that had caused confusion within the party—represents a victory for justice and institutional integrity.

It further described the decision as evidence of the judiciary’s role in maintaining stability within a democratic system.

The statement read: “By correcting the procedural irregularities that led to the artificial suspension of party leadership, the court has restored order and reaffirmed that institutions must operate within the bounds of the law.”

The movement noted that although the substantive matter has been returned to the trial court, the ruling has provided a foundation for fairness in the continuation of the case.

Concern Over Political Risks

Kwankwasiyya said it is conducting a detailed review of the judgment due to the limited time remaining in the electoral timetable.

It stated: “At this critical juncture, we are carefully studying the judgment and rigorously analysing its implications, particularly in light of the limited time within the electoral cycle.”

The group explained that the review is necessary to ensure its leader and other opposition figures are not exposed to legal or political barriers ahead of the 2027 elections.

It added: “This is necessary to ensure that we do not inadvertently fall into any political or legal trap that could undermine or prevent our principal and other key actors within the opposition from effectively participating in the 2027 general elections.”

The movement also said it is considering all lawful strategic options, including potential alliances with other political platforms.

“We are actively exploring all lawful and strategic options available to neutralise any such obstacles,” it said.

It mentioned the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) as possible political options under consideration.

The group stressed that its priority is to protect democratic participation and prevent disenfranchisement.

“Our objective remains clear: to safeguard our political rights, protect democratic participation, and ensure that no contrived circumstances are allowed to silence the voice of the people,” the statement added.

Kwankwasiyya assured supporters that a final decision on its political direction would be announced soon.

“In no distant time, an official position of our leader regarding a new political alignment will be communicated,” it said.

The movement also emphasised the need for strong institutions and active citizen participation in strengthening democracy, urging members to remain calm and united as consultations continue.
