The new members pledged their commitment to the ADC and expressed readiness to work with other party stakeholders to build a stronger political platform ahead of the 2027 polls.
ADC leaders in the state welcomed the defectors, describing their decision as a boost to the party’s growing strength and acceptance among residents.
