ADA Threatens Amupitan with Contempt Suit over Refusal to Release Access Code
Alex Enumah in Abuja The All Democratic Alliance (ADA), has threatened to initiate contempt of court proceedings against the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Joash Amupitan,
The All Democratic Alliance (ADA) has announced it will take legal action against the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Joash Amupitan, for refusing to release an access code required for the party's registration ahead of the 2027 general election. The ADA's protem national secretary, Aminu Ahmed, stated that the commission's refusal to comply with a court order has halted the party's registration process and prevented the release of vital information such as the party's officials' details, office addresses, and administrative staff names.
The ADA claims they were one of the eight pre-qualified associations selected by INEC for registration. In a final warning, the ADA gave INEC 48 hours to comply with the court's instructions, after which they plan to file a contempt of court suit against Amupitan, the Director of Election and Party Monitoring (EPM), and other relevant officers.
The ADA argues that this blatant disregard of a court order is an affront to the rule of law, aimed at obstructing their registration process and denying their members the chance to participate in the election.
