‘You are not the court’ — ADC fires back at INEC chairman over congress warning

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticised Joash Amupitan, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), over his comments on the party’s planned congresses and convention.

The opposition party said Amupitan’s position during an interview on Arise TV amounts to a misinterpretation of a court of appeal directive to maintain the status quo in the ongoing leadership dispute within the party.

On Wednesday, INEC announced that it would no longer recognise the factions of the ADC led by David Mark and Nafiu Bala after reviewing a court of appeal judgement.
