Sowore gets delegates’ affirmation as AAC presidential flag bearer for 2023

The Publisher of Sahara Reporters and Convener of #TakeItBack Movement, Omoyele Sowore, has been affirmed as presidential tiuch bearer of the African Action Congress, (AAC), for the 2023 general election without any challenge.

Mr. Sowore was unanimously elected by members of the party on Thursday at its national primary convention that took place at Work and Connect Event Center, in Abuja.
The election was monitored by Independent National Electoral Commission agents.

The event was attended by members of the party across the country.
The Court of Appeal in Abuja recently upheld Omoyele Sowore as the National Chairman of the African Action Congress (AAC).

Mr Sowore, a pro-democracy activist has been locked in a leadership dispute with some former members of the party.

The appellate court in the judgement faulted the decision of the Federal High Court, Abuja, which approved the suspension and eventual sack of Mr Sowore as the AAC’s national chairman.

Just before the commencement of the Primary election Sowore stepped down as National Chairman of the party yielding the space for his deputy North Central Muhmed Bako.

Sowore, who made this known during the party’s convention, noted that the process of stabilising the party would commence before the convention to elect another chairman.

He affirmed that other parties have elected their own “thieves”, stressing AAC must elect its own “police”.
