2027: ADP Unveils Ona Ara Line-Up, Presents “Beacon of Credible Alternative”

The Action Democratic Party (ADP) has unveiled a lineup of candidates seeking elective positions across different levels of government ahead of the 2027 general elections, presenting the team under the theme “Beacon of Credible Alternative.”

Among those featured is Hon. Ismaeel Sodiq Opeyemi Elege, who is presented as the party’s candidate for the Oyo State House of Assembly, Ona Ara Constituency.

The lineup also includes Hon. Ogundeyi Taiwo Ademola, presented for the Egbeda/Ona Ara Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives; Hon. Kunle Olatunji, presented as the party’s candidate for Governor of Oyo State; and Ambassador Aliyu Bin Abbas, presented as the party’s candidate for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The unveiling brings together candidates representing different levels of government, highlighting the ADP’s emerging political structure as activities ahead of the 2027 electoral cycle gradually intensify.

For residents of Ona Ara, the emergence of Elege as the candidate presented for the State Assembly seat places the constituency within the party’s wider electoral framework. His candidacy is expected to generate further conversations around representation, constituency development and the responsibilities of the State House of Assembly.

At the federal level, the inclusion of Ogundeyi Taiwo Ademola for the Egbeda/Ona Ara Federal Constituency adds another layer to the party’s proposed representation structure, while the governorship and presidential candidacies extend the lineup to the state and national levels.

As political activities continue to develop, candidates and political parties are expected to engage citizens through consultations, meetings, campaigns and public discussions. These engagements will provide voters with opportunities to examine candidates’ backgrounds, experience, programmes and policy priorities.

For Elege, the 2027 election represents a bid to secure the mandate to represent Ona Ara Constituency in the Oyo State House of Assembly. His inclusion in the ADP lineup alongside candidates contesting other offices reflects the party’s broader effort to establish a coordinated presence across different levels of government.

The unfolding political activities in Ona Ara and Oyo State are expected to bring increased public attention to the candidates and the issues they intend to address. As the electoral cycle progresses, citizens will have opportunities to assess the various programmes and policy positions being presented by political parties and candidates.

With 2027 gradually approaching, the political landscape is expected to witness increased consultations, public engagement and issue-based discussions as parties and candidates seek to connect with voters across communities.
