The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has strongly criticized the Federal High Court ruling directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and four other political parties.
Sowore made his position known on Monday in a statement shared via his verified X account, describing the judgment as contrary to democratic principles and the spirit of a multi-party political system.
He argued that it was wrong to deregister political parties that had already completed their primaries and were actively preparing for future elections.
According to him, such a move undermines democratic participation and cannot be justified in a constitutional democracy.
“It shall not stand. I totally condemn the deregistration of political parties that have already concluded their primaries and are preparing for general elections. Such an action is undemocratic and unjustifiable in a multi-party democracy,” Sowore stated.
Recall that Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday ordered INEC to immediately deregister the ADC, Accord Party, and several other political parties from participating in the 2027 general elections.
