The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced its intention to appeal a recent ruling by the Kogi State Federal High Court regarding its registration with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The court’s decision effectively prevents the NDC from being formally recognized as a political party. Party officials have publicly rejected the verdict, expressing strong disagreement with the court’s reasoning. The NDC maintains it fulfilled all requirements for registration and believes the ruling is unjust. An appeal is expected to be filed promptly, seeking to overturn the decision and secure official party status. This dispute impacts the NDC’s ability to participate in future elections. The party leadership has assured its members of continued efforts to achieve full registration.
