A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister five political parties, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Accord Party. This ruling poses a significant challenge to the political aspirations of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, both of whom are affiliated with these parties. The court's decision is based on the parties' failure to meet the necessary requirements set by INEC, thereby impacting their ability to participate in upcoming elections. The implications of this ruling are expected to reverberate throughout the political landscape as candidates prepare for the electoral process.
