The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Monday reversed the deregistration of 22 political parties by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The parties were among the 74 political parties de-registered in February 6, 2020, by INEC, for not meeting the necessary constitutional requirements.
In the lead judgment by Justice Dongban-Mensem, the Court of Appeal held that the de-registration of the appellants was illegal because INEC failed to comply with due process of law. It noted that the appellants were not challenging the legitimacy of the law/constitutional provision under which INEC claimed to have acted, by the process of their deregistration.
