The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, has initiated legal proceedings at the Federal High Court in Abuja, requesting an order for the deregistration of five political parties: the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Action Alliance (AA), All Progressives Party (APP), Accord Party, and the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP). The suit alleges that these parties have violated constitutional provisions and have not fulfilled the necessary statutory electoral requirements.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is named in the suit as the entity responsible for executing the deregistration if the court grants the order.
