Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission said it would discuss the implications of the Federal High Court's Nov. 6 ruling nullifying former Senate President David Mark's leadership of the opposition African Democratic Congress, or ADC, at its meeting the week of Nov. 16, Punch News reported on Nov. 8. The ADC national secretary appealed the Nov. 6 judgment, challenging the court's jurisdiction and interpretation of the party's constitution and electoral law, and seeking a stay of execution pending the appeal.
