The ruling comes two months before the election, removing a leading candidate from the contest.
A Nigerian court has disqualified a leading presidential candidate two months before the election, France 24 said. The decision affects who can stand in the presidential contest.
The captured text of France 24’s report does not identify the candidate or the court, give the grounds or precise date of the ruling, or say whether an appeal has been filed.
Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission lists 16 January 2027 as the date for the nationwide presidential and National Assembly elections.
The Second Circuit denied protection pending appeal in New York and Connecticut; the Ninth Circuit separately denied rehearing in Nevada, leaving a ruling against Kalshi in place.
