ADC says website crashed 3 times

On Monday, July 7, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said its website crashed three times last week due to a massive influx of people wanting to register online as members of the party.

The ADC chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT), Ibrahim Mani, made this disclosure during an interview with Channels TV on Monday, July 7.

According to the ADC BoT chairman, the surge in traffic overwhelmed the website’s capacity, causing repeated crashes.

“We had to host our website on three different occasions within the last week because it was crashing as a result of the influx of people wanting to register online as members of the party,” Mani explained.
