NDC Insists It Remains Validly Registered After Court Ruling

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has rejected a ruling delivered on Friday by a Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, which set aside an earlier judgment directing the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to register the party. Addressing journalists at a press conference in Abuja, the National Chairman of the NDC, Senator Moses Cleopas Zuwoghe, announced that the party has instructed its legal team to immediately file an appeal against the judgment. Senator Zuwoghe maintained that the court's decision does not amount to the deregistration of the NDC, insisting that the party remains a legally recognised political platform. He expressed confidence that the Court of Appeal would overturn the ruling, describing the party's registration as valid and protected under the law.

The NDC leadership also reassured its members and supporters across the country that its activities would continue uninterrupted while the legal process runs its course. The development marks the latest chapter in the party's legal battle over its registration status, with the appeal expected to determine its future participation in Nigeria's political landscape.
