As the Independent National Electoral Commission deregisters 74 political parties in the country, Nigeria now has 18 parties.
The electoral commission said the deregistered party did not satisfy the requirements of the fourth alteration to the constitution.
INEC added that the Action Peoples Party filed a suit in court and obtained an order restraining the commission from deregistering it, “consequently, the party remains registered pending the determination of the case by the court.”
With the deregistration, political parties in the country are now the All Progressives Congress, Peoples Democratic Party, Accord, Action Alliance, African Action Congress, African Democratic Congress, Action Democratic Party, All Progressives Grand Alliance, Allied People’s Movement, Labour Party and New Nigeria People’s Party.
