Amupitan: Towards a Rule of Law-Compliant INEC

Image
By Abu Micheal  Introduction The recent decision of the Federal High Court in Abuja voiding portions of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) revised timetable for the 2027 general elections, and INEC’s subsequent appeal against that judgment, crystallizes a deeper constitutional question: what are the legal limits of INEC’s regulatory authority in a democracy governed by the rule of law? The suit, filed by the Youth Party, challenged INEC’s May 10, 2026 deadline for the submission of membership registers and its compression of other statutory timelines. Justice M.G. Umar’s judgment restored the Electoral Act 2026’s 120-day pre-election requirement for submission of candidates’ particulars and extended compliance to September 2026.
