Court Affirms Deregistration Of 74 Parties By INEC by etokhana: 1:50pm On Jun 11, 2020
A Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday dismissed the suit filed by 32 out of the 74 political parties deregistered on February 6 this year by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Justice Anwuli Chikere, in a judgment, held that the plaintiffs failed to prove their claim that INEC acted unlawfully by deregistering them.

Justice Chikere held that INEC has the powers to deregister any political party that fails to meet the requirements under Section 225(a), (b) & (6) of the Constitution as contained in the 4th Alteration to the Constitution, which came into effect in June 2018.

The judge noted that it is a fact that the plaintiffs have contested elections since the constitutional provision took effect, “but they failed to state the seats they have won; they failed to present certificates of return that they have been issued by the 2nd respondent (INEC).

“They failed to provide sufficient evidence to enable the court exercise its discretion in their favour.”

The judge vacated an interim restraining order earlier granted against the respondents – the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and INEC.

Advanced Congress of Democrats (ACD) and 32 other political parties had filed the suit, marked: FHC//ABJ/ CS/444/19, challenging their deregistration.

Although 33 political parties filed the case, two of the parties – Labour Party (LP) and African Democratic Congress (ADC) – were later excluded from the case following information that they were not among the deregistered parties

On June 3 this year, one party, Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) had its joiner application granted, raising the number of plaintiffs to 32.

Some of the plaintiffs are: 32 political parties are: Advanced Congress of Democrats (ACD) Advanced Nigeria Democratic Party (ANDP) All Blending Party (ABP) All Grand Alliance Party (AGAP) Better Nigeria Progressive Party (BNPP) Democratic People’s Congress (DPC) Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) and Green Party of Nigeria (GPN).

When will we be tired of this party differences? One of the reasons this country is not moving forward is as a result of I belong to this party and if you don't belong to my party no national cake for you. Imagine as we keep going backwards while the world is far ahead of us. Politicians playing with our future and buying our future with cups of rice, beans, salt and others as they plan doing come 2023. #Enough of this backwardness and corruption.

Very good move.
Most of these parties are only formed to generate money which is eventually siphoned.
