Court Voids Earlier Judgment Ordering INEC To Register NDC As Political Party
A Federal High Court in Lokoja has nullified its previous judgment that ordered the registration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress as a political party. The court ruled that the initial decision was flawed because it failed to include all interested parties, specifically the Peace Movement Party, and ordered a fresh hearing.
