Balarabe MusaA Federal High Court in Abuja has directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to restore the three political parties that it deregistered in 2012. The parties are the Peoples Redemption Party PRP), the Peoples Progressive Party (PPP) and the Better Nigeria Progressive Party (bnpp).

Justice Adeniyi Ademola who gave the order said that the parties were deregistered without being given fair hearing from INEC.

He said that it is unconstitutional, invalid, null and void the provisions of section 78(7) (ii) of the Electoral Act 2010, which INEC relied on to deregister the parties. [myad]
