A Federal High Court in Abuja has been asked to disqualify all candidates of the Accord Party for the 2027 general elections, following an internal dispute within the party.
The request was made by party officials who argue that the internal conflict has compromised the party’s ability to present a united front in the upcoming elections. No specific details of the dispute were disclosed in the brief notice.
The 2027 general elections in Nigeria are scheduled to take place later this year, with voters expected to choose the president, vice‑president, senators, members of the House of Representatives and state governors.
Should the court grant the request, the Accord Party would be barred from fielding any candidates in the 2027 elections, potentially reshaping the political landscape ahead of the vote.
Further information on the court’s decision and the party’s response has not yet been released.
