The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced on Wednesday that it will review the Federal High Court's judgment nullifying the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) after obtaining a certified true copy of the ruling. INEC National Commissioner and Chair of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Haruna, revealed this during a webinar organized by the PUNCH Media Foundation.
The November 5 judgment, delivered by Justice Peter Lifu, invalidated the leadership of Senator David Mark-led ADC and the decisions made under it, including Atiku Abubakar's selection as the party's presidential candidate for 2027. The ADC has rejected the ruling and is appealing the decision. The Commission's legal department will examine the judgment and advise a committee, which will subsequently make recommendations to the Commission.
