From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has relisted the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for this Saturday’s legislative by-elections in 12 states of the federation.

The electoral umpire hinges its decision on the ruling of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1525/2025.

INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information & Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, noted in a statement that in compliance with the judgement, the names of the candidates submitted manually have been accepted and published on its website.

The commission also claimed that the party did not earlier submit a valid notice for the conduct of primaries for the by-elections, resulting in its failure to monitor it.
