political party registration and democratic participation in Nigeria, the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Tuesday declared the Liberation People\u2019s Party (LPP) a duly registered political party and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue it a Certificate of Registration within 30 days.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The unanimous judgment, delivered by a three-member panel of Justices Hamma Barka Banjoko, Mohammed Lawal Abubakar Abang, and Jane Esienanwan Inyang Oyewunmi, marks the culmination of a prolonged legal battle between the political association and the electoral commission.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The appellate court also awarded N5 million in damages against INEC for its actions and imposed an additional N500,000 as costs.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The controversy dates back to 2025 when INEC commenced the process of considering applications from aspiring political associations, seeking registration as political parties ahead of future electoral cycles.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Out of a staggering 171 political associations that expressed interest, the Liberation People\u2019s Party emerged among the 14 associations that were prequalified by the electoral body to proceed to the next stage of registration.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Following its prequalification, LPP paid the mandatory administrative fee of N2 million as required by INEC and was subsequently issued an access code that granted the association 30 days to upload supporting documents through the commission\u2019s online registration portal.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">However, according to court records, the process took an unexpected turn when INEC allegedly blocked the party\u2019s access to the portal before the expiration of the 30-day period, thereby preventing the association from completing the upload of critical documents required for registration.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Repeated representations and requests by LPP, asking the commission to reopen the portal reportedly yielded no positive response, forcing the association to seek judicial intervention at the Federal High Court in Abuja in January 2026.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">At the Federal High Court, the party challenged INEC\u2019s actions and sought declarations affirming its right to registration.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">However, Justice Binta Fatima Nyako dismissed the claims, holding, among other reasons, that the association had submitted portions of its application manually rather than exclusively through the online platform prescribed by INEC.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Dissatisfied with the judgment, the Liberation People\u2019s Party proceeded to the Court of Appeal.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">However, in overturning the decision of the Federal High Court, the Court of Appeal held that the circumstances of the case clearly demonstrated that LPP had substantially complied with the registration requirements and that INEC could not benefit from a situation created by its own actions.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The court ruled that the association ought to be regarded as having been registered by operation of law pursuant to Section 75(4) of the Electoral Act, 2022.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">According to the appellate court, once the statutory period prescribed under the Electoral Act elapsed without a lawful decision rejecting the application, the party became entitled to registration.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The court consequently declared that the Liberation People\u2019s Party should be deemed registered with effect from December 2025, being sixty days after the submission of its application.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Beyond merely recognising the party\u2019s legal status, the Court of Appeal issued a mandatory order, directing INEC to formally issue the Liberation People\u2019s Party with its Certificate of Registration within 30 days from the date of judgment.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The court further held INEC liable for damages, arising from the wrongful obstruction of the registration process and awarded N5 million compensation to the party, alongside N500,000 as litigation costs.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Political observers say the judgment represents a significant affirmation of the rule of law and serves as a reminder that administrative agencies must operate within the boundaries established by statute.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The decision is also expected to resonate among emerging political movements and reform-oriented groups, seeking to expand Nigeria\u2019s political space beyond the dominance of established parties.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Analysts note that the ruling reinforces the principle that regulatory authorities cannot frustrate applicants through procedural obstacles and subsequently rely on those same obstacles as grounds for denying legal rights.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">For the Liberation People\u2019s Party, the judgment brings to an end what party supporters describe as a difficult and exhausting journey toward political recognition.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">With the court now affirming its status as a registered political party, attention is expected to shift toward the party\u2019s organisational expansion, membership drive, and participation in Nigeria\u2019s evolving democratic landscape.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The ruling is already being viewed by many legal and political stakeholders as one of the most consequential appellate decisions on political party registration since the enactment of the Electoral Act 2022.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof Joash Amupitan, INEC chair By Amah Kindly share: In a landmark
