Court overturns judgement ordering NDC’s deregistration

The Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, has set aside its earlier judgement directing INEC to deregister the NDC as a political party.

A separate case was heard in the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which was instituted by the Zenith Labour Party. The Court of Appeal ruled that certain sections of the Electoral Act 2022 were inconsistent with the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

According to Daily Trust, a chieftain of Accord, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has called for the disbandment and reconstitution of INEC, citing the electoral body's alleged disregard for the Court of Appeal's judgment.
