BREAKING: INEC moves to halt enforcement of judgment ordering ADC, Accord deregistration

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has approached the court of appeal in Abuja, seeking a stay of execution of a judgement that ordered the deregistration of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and four other political parties.

In a judgement on Monday, Peter Lifu, a federal high court judge, 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. (TheCable )
