Court Halts PDP's 2025 Convention, Bars INEC Recognition

The Federal High Court in Abuja has halted the PDP's 2025 National Convention, citing the party's failure to comply with legal requirements for conducting its congress and convention. The court restrained INEC from recognizing the convention's outcome until due process is followed.

Key PDP officials, including Austin Nwachukwu and Amah Abraham Nnanna, filed the lawsuit. The court emphasized the importance of compliance with electoral provisions in the public interest, suspending the convention preparations.
