Chairman of the de-listed African Renaissance Party (ARP), Alhaji Yahaya Ndu, yesterday welcomed the decision of the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) to de-register his political party.

Ndu told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that INEC was right in de-listing the party for operating with no verifiable headquarters and not winning a seat in the national and state assemblies. He also admitted that composition of National Executive Committee (NEC) of his party did not meet the requirements of Section 223 (1) and (2) of the amended 1999 Constitution.
