BREAKING: A’court dismisses judgment ordering deregistration of ADC
The court of appeal in Abuja has nullified the judgment that ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and four other political parties accused of failing to meet constitutional requirements.
In a unanimous decision, a three-member panel of the appellate court held that the Abuja high court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the suit.
The court ruled that the June 15 judgment and order for the parties’ deregistration were null and void.
