The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has taken a significant step in restoring four previously suppressed State House of Assembly constituencies in Delta and Kogi states. This move comes as a result of court judgments that directed the restoration of these constituencies. Abraka, Isoko North II, Ughelli South II in Delta State, and Yagba West II in Kogi State are the affected areas. INEC has now complied with these judgments, bringing an end to the suppression of these constituencies.

The restoration of these constituencies is a direct result of court judgments that were delivered in response to petitions filed by various parties. The courts have consistently upheld the right of citizens to participate in the electoral process, and INEC has been directed to take necessary steps to ensure compliance with these rulings. This development highlights the importance of the judiciary in ensuring that the electoral process is fair and inclusive. In Nigeria, the court system plays a crucial role in resolving disputes related to electoral matters.

The restoration of these constituencies has significant implications for political parties and their candidates. The directive from INEC to conduct primaries in the affected areas means that parties must now adjust their strategies to accommodate the newly restored constituencies. This development also underscores the importance of compliance with court judgments, as failure to do so can result in further legal action. Lawyers advising clients in Delta and Kogi should be aware of this development and ensure that their clients comply with INEC's directive to conduct primaries.
