Mr Obi announced the decision on Tuesday during a political rally at the Nike Lake Resort Hotel in Enugu.
“We are ending this year with the hope that in 2026 we will begin a rescue journey,” Mr Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, said.
“We will resist rigging of elections by every lawful means in 2027.”
The former governor joined the ADC alongside his former supporters from the LP.
