The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court has ruled that political parties in Nigeria have until September 2026 to submit their membership registers, overturning previous guidelines set by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). This decision was delivered by Justice M.G. Umar on Thursday, which invalidated the earlier requirement for parties to provide a register and database of all members by May 10 to qualify for the 2027 general elections. The court's ruling emphasizes the extended timeline for compliance, impacting the electoral preparations of various political parties.
