Relief for ADC, AP as Appeal Court stops deregistration order

Several opposition political parties, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Accord Party (AP), have secured temporary relief after the Court of Appeal halted the enforcement of a Federal High Court judgment ordering their deregistration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Earlier in the week, Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered INEC to deregister ADC, Accord, Action Alliance (AA), Action Peoples Party (APP) and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) for failing to meet the constitutional thresholds required to remain on the register of political parties. The trial court held that the parties breached Section 225A of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which empowers INEC to deregister political parties that fail to win any elective seat or secure at least 25 per cent of the votes in relevant elections at federal, state or local government […]

INEC sets July 11 deadline for candidate submission amid post-primary chaos

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed July 11, 2026, as the deadline for political parties to submit candidates' particulars for the 2027 general elections. The commission also announced that access codes for its nomination portal will be issued to political parties on June 26, 2026. This move comes as political parties intensify efforts to resolve post-primary disputes and finalize candidate nominations following a Federal High Court ruling that nullified parts of INEC's revised election timetable. The court held that INEC cannot lawfully shorten the statutory timelines outlined in the Electoral Act, 2026. INEC has warned that any primary elections conducted after the May 30 deadline will not be recognized unless a higher court overturns the Federal High Court judgment. The commission has filed an appeal but maintains that parties must comply with existing legal provisions. Before the court […]

2027: INEC Voids Primaries Held After May 30

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned political parties that any internal party primary election conducted outside its May 30, 2026 deadline will be voided. The commission cautioned political parties to strictly adhere to the electoral timetable and conduct their primaries within the stipulated timeframe, saying any party that fails to comply will be at its own risk. The directive comes as political parties begin preparations for the 2027 general elections, with many parties already holding their internal primaries to select candidates for various positions across the federation. INEC's warning is aimed at preventing electoral chaos and ensuring that all parties follow the same timeline for candidate selection, which is crucial for the commission's ability to process and manage the electoral process effectively. Political analysts say the commission's position is based on the need to align internal party processes […]

2027: Wike Bars Unrecognised Party Factions From Abuja Event Centres, Hotels

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reportedly warned that unrecognised or court-disputed factions of political parties will not be allowed to use Abuja event centres and hotels for conventions or political gatherings ahead of the 2027 elections. The move comes amid ongoing controversy over the African Democratic Congress (ADC) convention venue saga, in which party officials alleged that the proprietor of Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja cancelled their fully paid booking after coming under pressure from the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) and the FCT Minister. The ADC claimed the venue owner was threatened with licence revocation if he allowed the convention to proceed at the facility. Wike has repeatedly denied these allegations, insisting that no formal application was submitted to use major public venues such as Eagle Square or the Moshood Abiola National Stadium. He […]

Court sets March 24 ruling on suit to deregister ADC, Accord, others

A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed March 24 for its ruling on a suit seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission to deregister four political parties over alleged failure to meet constitutional requirements.​ The case, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2637/25, was filed by the Incorporated Trustees of the National Forum of Former Legislators, with INEC, the Attorney-General of the Federation, the African Democratic Congress, Accord Party, Zenith Labour Party and Action Alliance listed as defendants. Initially, only the ADC was mentioned, but the suit was later amended to include the other parties.​ The group argues that INEC is constitutionally required to deregister parties that do not attain minimum electoral performance, such as winning at least 25 per cent of votes in one state during a presidential election or securing any elective seat at federal, state or local government level. In […]
