Ghana — National Democratic Congress & Nigeria — All Progressives Congress

Ghana — National Democratic Congress: The Ghana — National Democratic Congress (NDC) faced a court ruling that set aside an earlier judgment recognizing its registration, which Peter Obi described as a setback for democracy. The Nigeria — African Democratic Congress also condemned this ruling, seeing it as part of a broader assault on Nigeria's democratic space.

Nigeria — All Progressives Congress: The Nigeria — All Progressives Congress (APC) is the ruling party in Nigeria, and some opposition figures, including Atiku Abubakar and the Nigeria — People s Democratic Party, allege that the court rulings against opposition parties are part of a coordinated effort by the APC-led government to weaken opposition ahead of the 2027 elections.
