Preparations for the March 28 and April 11 elections may have
suffered a major setback, as a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has
ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to include
the Young Democratic Party, YDP in the lists of its duly registered
political parties.
By this judgement, INEC would be required to reprint new ballot papers for the elections which is three weeks away.
Justice Ahmed Muhammed delivered the judgment in Abuja on Wednesday.
The YDP told the court that it has candidates in all positions and
ought to be included in the ballot papers which have already been
printed.
According to the party, it fulfilled all the conditions for registration as contained in Section 78 (4) of the Electoral Act.
