NGA legal dispute involving the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Peace Movement Party (PMP) has escalated as the PMP seeks to overturn a court order requiring the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the NDC as a political party. Counsel for the PMP, Chikezie Ekeocha, stated that the challenge stems from alleged misrepresentation of facts and a disputed logo, rather than political motives. The Federal High Court in Lokoja recently set aside its previous judgment due to constitutional defects, including failure to hear all affected parties.

The court has ordered the case to be reheard with the NDC, PMP, and INEC as parties involved.
