Supreme Court Upholds SDP Victory, Slams INEC in Legal Battle

The Supreme Court upheld the victory of the SDP in by-elections, criticizing INEC for challenging the party's leadership. INEC's appeal was dismissed, with the court affirming the High Court's order to include SDP candidates on the ballot.

The legal battle stemmed from INEC's refusal to recognize SDP candidates despite a court order. The Supreme Court deemed the matter an academic exercise as the elections had already taken place.
