DESCRIPTION:Debates on African jihadist movements have often prioritised r
 adicalisation\, criminal economies or a global-local nexus linking insurge
 nt groups to transnational networks. This paper advances a governance-cent
 red framework – ‘Jihad governance’ – that helps to analyse how aut
 hority is produced and contested under insurgent conditions. \nDrawing on 
 Okulunganya (‘Rectification’)\, a rare internal document of the Allied
  Democratic Forces (ADF)\, it reconstructs the removal of Jamilu Mukulu an
 d the rise of Musa Baluku as a juridically grounded process. It shows that
  leadership change is justified not through democratic selection or ideolo
 gical rupture\, but through demonstrated incapacity and failure of governa
 nce. \nThe paper further argues that ADF’s alignment with the Islamic St
 ate functioned as an institutional solution to a leadership crisis. By ana
 lysing governance and internal jihadist’s reasoning\, the paper offers a
  good account of how African jihadist movements adapt and endure.\nDr Abdu
 lhakim Nsobya is a postdoctoral researcher at Queen's University Belfast w
 orking on the ‘Governing Jihad in Africa’ project. His research focuse
 s on religion\, politics\, and media in Africa\, with particular attention
  to how religious ideas shape authority\, governance\, and social life in 
 contexts of conflict and political transformation.
