BREAKING: Court dismisses case by 32 political parties against deregistration by INEC

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 .

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

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

That's very ok. Too many parties tend to confuse electorates even the educated talkeless the uneducated who are the majority. Most of the parties started & ended in the brief cases of the chairmen of the parties.
