INEC Appeals Court Decision Nullifying Election Guidelines, Requests

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) appealed a Federal High Court ruling that had nullified its 2023 election guidelines, arguing that the court’s decision was procedurally flawed and that the guidelines were lawfully issued under the Electoral Act. INEC requested the Court of Appeal to set aside the nullification, maintain the validity of the guidelines, and allow the 2023 general elections to proceed as scheduled. The appeal emphasizes that the guidelines are essential for the conduct of free, fair, and credible elections across Nigeria. Views Nigeria
