Appeal Court ruling: IPAC dissolves interim c’ttee, fixes fresh poll for Sept 5

Following a Court of Appeal ruling setting aside the de-registration of some registered political parties in the country, Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has announced the dissolution of the Interim National Committee (INC) led by Leonard Ezenwa, who is also the national chairman of the African Action Congress (AAC).

The President of IPAC, High Chief Peter Ameh, who said this on Wednesday in Abuja at a news conference, also announced members of the newly constituted electoral committee that would conduct election to usher in new executives of the council.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Monday, quashed deregistration of 74 political parties which has enabled the parties to continue to exist.

Peter Ameh, who is the also the National Chairman of Peoples Progressives Alliance (PPA), while announcing the dissolution of the Ezenwa-led interim executive, said the leadership of IPAC can only be attained through elections and that his tenure will elapse on September 5 when the new leaders will emerge.

He listed members of the IPAC 2020 electoral commission to include the national chairmen of Action Alliance (AA); Abdulkadir Salaam, Labour Party (LP); Alhaji Musa Taka, Advanced Congress of Democrats (ACD); Bamigboye Abiodun, Socialist Party of Nigeria (SPN); Don Harmattan, Peoples Coalition Party (PCP); and Dr. Emeka Okengwu, Alliance of Social Democrats (ASD).
