…INEC cow to appeal judgement.
Nigerian opposition political parties have overwhelmingly praised the Federal High Court ruling delivered by Justice M.G. Umar, which nullified the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) restrictive guidelines and deadlines for the 2027 general elections.
The landmark judgment triggered by a lawsuit from the Youth Party invalidated INEC’s May 10, 2026 deadline for membership registers and ruled that parties have until September 2026 to comply, effectively safeguarding party autonomy over internal timelines.
The Action Democratic Party in their reaction says it has taken note of the judgment of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Abuja Judicial Division, delivered on 20th May, 2026, in Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/517/2026, between Youth Party v. Independent National Electoral Commission.adsads
