INEC Complies With Court Order, Reinstates Gombe As SDP National Chairman

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has updated its official records to reflect a court-directed change in the leadership of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), reinstating Prof. Sadiq Umar Abubakar Gombe as the party’s recognised national chairman.

The update, as reflected on the commission’s portal, followed compliance with a court order directing the restoration of Prof. Gombe’s status as the official chairman of the party.

Before the latest adjustment, the commission had earlier listed the removed party chairman as the recognised leader of the SDP, a development that had generated internal controversy within the party.

Following the revision, the SDP national leadership structure now displayed on the INEC portal lists:

National Chairman — Professor Sadiq Umar Abubakar Gombe (by court order)
