ADC Sues INEC Over Leadership Records, Seeks Court Intervention

Abuja — The African Democratic Congress (ADC), led by David Mark, has approached the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to reverse changes made to its leadership records on the commission’s official portal.
In a motion on notice filed before Justice Emeka Nwite, the party is asking for an order of mandatory injunction setting aside INEC’s decision to remove members of its National Working Committee (NWC) from its records.
The ADC is also challenging INEC’s refusal to monitor its congresses and forthcoming national convention, arguing that the actions of the electoral body undermine its constitutional rights and internal administrative processes.
The suit marks a significant escalation in the dispute between the opposition party and INEC, with potential implications for party regulation and electoral governance in Nigeria.
The court is expected to hear the matter in due course.
