A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise Prof. Chris Imumolen as the National Chairman of the Accord Party.
On Friday, Hon. Justice M.M. Adamu granted an ex-parte order in favor of Imumolen, restraining the defendants from parading themselves as the National Executive Committee of the Accord Party.

The court also directed that mumolen be recognised as the legitimate National Chairman of the party.
It also prohibited the defendants from conducting any state and local government congresses pending the determination of the substantive suit before the court.
The ruling effectively puts Imumolen in charge of the party’s affairs until the court makes a final decision on the matter.
Imumolen’s recognition comes after his counsel filed a prayer on August 26, 2024, seeking the court’s intervention in the leadership dispute within the Accord Party.
