Justice M. G. Umar for what he termed a courageous and principled decision that checked administrative overreach and reaffirmed the supremacy of the Electoral Act, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The Federal High Court, in Suit No. FHC\/ABJ\/CS\/517\/2026 between the Youth Party and INEC, reportedly held that the electoral body acted outside its statutory powers by imposing restrictive timelines on political parties for the conduct of primaries and other pre-election activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the judgement, Hashim said he had consistently maintained that INEC must operate strictly within the confines of the law, revealing that he had earlier written an open letter to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu warning against actions capable of undermining the Electoral Act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have consistently argued that INEC must act within the confines of the Electoral Act. Unfortunately, those warnings were not heeded. This judgment has now vindicated that position,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Hashim described the ruling as timely and necessary, saying it would protect the integrity of Nigeria\u2019s electoral process and strengthen democratic governance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI commend Justice M.G. Umar for his courage and fidelity to justice. This is a sound judgment that reinforces the supremacy of the law and restores confidence in our democratic institutions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports of the judgement, the court held that INEC lacks the legal authority to fix timelines for party primaries and cannot abridge statutory provisions relating to the submission of candidates\u2019 particulars, withdrawal and substitution of candidates, publication of final candidate lists, and campaign periods.<\/p>\n<p>The court consequently set aside portions of INEC\u2019s Revised Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Elections found to be inconsistent with the Electoral Act, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Hashim urged INEC to fully comply with the judgement and ensure that future electoral guidelines strictly conform with the provisions of the law.<\/p>\n<p>However, as of the time of filing this report, official court documents and a certified true copy of the judgement were yet to be publicly released, while INEC had not issued an official response to the development.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/05\/gbenga-hashim-hails-justice-umar-for-nullifying-inecs-illegal-timetable-commends-court-for-upholding-rule-of-law\/\">Gbenga Hashim hails Justice Umar for nullifying INEC\u2019s illegal timetable, commends court for upholding rule of law<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>, <\/p>\n<p>Former presidential candidate, Dr. Gbenga Hashim, has commended the Federal High Court in Abuja for nullifying portions of the 2027 election timetable issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), describing the judgement as a victory for the rule of law and constitutional order.
