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.
