The Federal High Court in Abuja has restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission from de-registering political parties in the country.
In its ruling on Monday, the court ordered the electoral body to stay action on the matter with immediate effect.
INEC had on February 6, 2020 announced that it had de-registered 74 political parties in the country, leaving only 18 in existence.
Affected political parties have since vowed to challenged this decision in court.
