With about three weeks to the commencement of
the 2015 general elections, a Federal High Court in
Abuja has ordered the Independent National
Electoral Commission to immediately register the
Young Democratic Party as political party.
Justice Ahmed Mohammed made the order in his
judgment on the suit filed by the party, challenging
its denial of registration by INEC.
The judge held that YDP was deemed registered
when INEC failed to inform the then political
association of its decision not to register it as a
political party within 30 days of receiving its
application, as required under Section 78 (4) of the
Electoral Act, 2010.
INEC was said to have received the association’s
application on April 1, 2014 but only notified the
applicant of its decision not to register it on
September 15, 2014.
