No manifesto of AFRICAN DEMOCRATIC CHANGE is on the record yet. Manifestos are added only from the party’s own published copy.

Declared donations

As the Electoral Commission's published declarations reports print them; above the disclosure threshold only

No declaration naming this party appears in the Commission’s published reports on the record (2021/22 onwards). Donations below the disclosure threshold are not published by law, so this is not a statement that the party received nothing.

Sources
