Youth Party Disowns Suit That Halted INEC’s 2027 Timetable
The Youth Party’s national leadership has publicly rejected a lawsuit filed against INEC at the Federal High Court in Abuja. They say the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/517/2026 was launched without approval from any recognised party organ. In a notice issued on Wednesday, the party dissociated itself from the case and its May 20, 2026 judgment. It warned individuals behind the suit that they would be held personally accountable. The Youth Party insists it remains committed to INEC’s electoral guidelines. It says it has no intention of using the courts to undermine the 2027 election process and is focused on its upcoming convention and primaries. Separately, Justice Umar nullified key sections of INEC’s revised timetable, ruling that several deadlines conflicted with the Electoral Act, 2026.
