ADC SAYS INEC OPPOSED ITS DEREGISTRATION IN COURT

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has stated that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) opposed efforts to deregister the party during court proceedings.

The party made the claim while reacting to recent developments surrounding a legal dispute over its status, insisting that INEC defended its continued recognition as a registered political party.

According to ADC officials, the electoral commission's position in court demonstrated that the party remains compliant with relevant legal and constitutional requirements governing political organizations in Nigeria.

The party argued that attempts to challenge its registration were unfounded and should not distract it from its political activities and engagement with Nigerians.

ADC leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to democratic principles, noting that political pluralism remains essential to strengthening Nigeria’s democracy.

The development comes amid ongoing debates over the regulation of political parties and the role of electoral institutions in safeguarding democratic participation.

While details of the court proceedings continue to attract public attention, the party expressed confidence that the legal process would ultimately uphold its rights and status under the law.

INEC has yet to issue a fresh public statement on the matter, while political observers continue to monitor the implications of the case for the country's evolving political landscape.
