The Supreme Court has upheld the deregistration of 74 political parties in Nigeria.
The judgment was delivered by Justice China Nweze on Friday.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in 2020 deregistered the political parties over their inability to win any election during the 2019 general elections.
