Appeal Court Rules On Judgement For INEC To Deregister ADC, Others

The Appeal Court has ordered the suspension of the order for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and four other political parties.

INEC had earlier approached the Court of Appeal in Abuja seeking a stay of execution of a judgment that ordered the deregistration of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and four other political parties.

Recall that Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court had on Monday, ordered the deregistration of ADC, Action Peoples Party (APP), Action Alliance (AA), Accord Party (AP), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) over their failure to meet the conditions for retaining their registration.
