Supreme Court affirms deregistration of 74 political parties by INEC 2 min read
The Supreme Court has affirmed the judgement of the Court of Appeal which okayed the reregistration of National Unity Party and others.
INEC had last year deregistered the parties over failures to win any election during the 2019 general election.
In the judgement, delivered by Justice Adamu Jauro, the apex court said the deregistration of NUP, one of the 74 parties, was done in line with the laws and compliance with the extant provisions of the Constitution and Electoral Act.
With the judgment, the fate of the 74 political parties deregistered by INEC have been sealed.
SOMALIA: Ancient Cycle Remains Unbroken April 21, 2021: The months-long deadlock over when and how to hold the next national elections has turned violent and threatens to escalate into another civil war sooner or later. President Farmajo is using Turkish trained troops to control Mogadishu and refusing to hold the long-delayed elections. Foreign donors are threatening to stop supplying the cash that enables the national government to exist at all. The UN is caught in the middle as they are desperate to retain whatever national unity has been achieved since 2011 when a UN backed (paid for) peacekeeping force drove al Shabaab out of Mogadishu and other urban areas the Islamic terror group has taken control of. Al Shabaab had itself started with good intentions.
