 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable.

 Taiwan evacuates thousands as tropical storm Fung-wong approaches, following fatalities in the Philippines 

TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Taiwan evacuated over 3,000 residents and closed schools and offices on Tuesday as tropical storm Fung-wong approached, following its deadly impact in the Philippines, where at least 18 people were killed and more than 1.4 million were displaced. The storm, once classified as a typhoon, is weakening as it nears Taiwan and is forecast to make landfall Wednesday afternoon or evening near the southwestern port city of Kaohsiung.

On Tuesday morning, Fung-wong brought maximum sustained winds of 108 kph (67 mph) with gusts up to 137 kph (85 mph). Authorities expect it to cross the island and exit through the northeast by Wednesday evening or early Thursday. Evacuations affected more than 3,300 people from four counties and cities near Guangfu township, an area previously hit by September flooding that killed 18 after a barrier lake overflowed. Schools and offices were closed in Hualien and Yilan counties, and a land warning was issued for southern and southwestern areas, including Kaohsiung, Pingtung, Tainan, and Taitung. Meanwhile, China activated emergency typhoon responses in Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Hainan provinces.

Fung-wong hit the northeastern Philippines on Sunday as a super typhoon with maximum sustained winds of 185 kph (115 mph) and gusts reaching 230 kph (143 mph). The storm’s 1,800-kilometer (1,100-mile) reach caused flash floods and landslides in northern provinces, killing at least 18 people. More than 803,000 remained in evacuation centers across northern Luzon on Tuesday. Among the fatalities were three children buried in two separate landslides in Nueva Vizcaya province and four others injured, while Kalinga province saw two deaths and two missing. Officials noted that the casualties were spread across multiple locations rather than concentrated in one area. Both the Philippines and Taiwan face frequent typhoons and storms each year.
