A former Senator representing Zamfara Central, Kabiru Marafa, has left the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and joined the National Democratic Congress (NDC), ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Marafa’s latest political move comes just weeks after he left the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the ADC, following internal disagreements within the ruling party.
His exit from the ADC is reportedly linked to unresolved issues over his governorship ambition in Zamfara State.
Sources within political circles indicated that Marafa was unable to secure the ADC governorship ticket, prompting his decision to switch allegiance once again.
He has now reportedly been assured of the party’s governorship ticket under the NDC platform. The development marks another shift in Marafa’s political journey as parties begin early realignments ahead of the next general election.
Although official confirmation from the senator is still being awaited in full detail, a statement attributed to him confirmed his latest move, saying he has found a new political platform to pursue his ambition. Marafa’s defection is expected to further reshape political calculations in Zamfara State, where parties are already positioning for a highly competitive 2027 governorship race.
