A Nigerian Federal High Court in Abuja disqualified Atiku Abubakar, a leading presidential candidate, by ruling that the African Democratic Congress party's leadership was illegally constituted. This decision complicates the January 2027 election process two months before voting. The party had faced deregistration earlier but was reinstated on appeal. The election features incumbent Bola Tinubu and opposition candidates Abubakar and Peter Obi amid economic and security challenges.
