Polls: Pdp Wants Court To Stop Apc, Ap, Lp by politricks: 1:06am On Mar 21, 2015
The Peoples Democratic Party in Delta State has filed a suit at the Federal High Court, Asaba seeking to nullify the eligibility of the candidates of the All Progressives Congress, the Labour Party and the Accord Party in the March 28 and April 11 general elections in the state. In a suit filed by the chambers of Mr. Akinlolu Kehinde (SAN), the PDP is asking the court to disqualify the candidates of the three political parties standing for election in the state on the grounds that their parties violated sections 85(1) of the Electoral Acts, 2010 (as amended) which provides that political parties should give the commission at least 21 days’ notice of any convention, congress, conference or meeting convened for the purpose of electing members of its executive committees, other governing bodies or nominating candidates for any of the elective offices specified under this act.” The presiding judge, Justice Olatunregun Ishola, had however ordered that the defendants be served the notice of appearance and adjourned hearing to March 24. According to the plaintiffs, APC, Accord and Labour Party breached the requisite statute, having held their primaries less than 21 days after the notices they gave to the Independent National Electoral Commission for the holding of their primaries to choose candidates for the 2015 election. Joined as defendants in the suit are INEC; APC governorship flag- bearer , Olorogun Ortega Emerhor; Labour Party governorship candidate, Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru ; Accord Party Senatorial Candidate for Delta North , Hon Victor Ochei and 95 others
