Although the appellate court, essentially, validated the controversial law, it said it would have ruled otherwise if the main suit was properly brought before it.

The Court of Appeal has voided a ruling of a high court that nullified the controversial Section 84 of the Electoral Act 2022.

The Court of Appeal in Abuja, on Wednesday, voided the judgment of the Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia State, which nullified the controversial section. The appellate court further said the plaintiff, Nduka Edede, lacked the legal standing to have filed the case. The clause reads: “No political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the convention or congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election.”
