 The Supreme Court has upheld an earlier judgment of the Court of Appeal which supported the deregistration of National Unity Party and 73 others. The Independent National Electoral Commission last year deregisted the political parties over their inability to win any election during the 2019 general elections. In the judgment delivered by Justice Adamu Jaurw, the Supreme Court said the deregistration of NUP, one of the 74 parties was done in line with the laws and compliance with an extant provision of the Constitution and the Electoral Act.
