News 2023: Court Dismisses PDP Suit Seeking Kwara Gov’s Disqualification
State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, from participating in the 2023 governorship election in the State.
Handing down the judgment, Justice Inyang Ekwo dismissed the suit for being incompetent and an abuse of court process. He said that the PDP lacked the right to sue since it wasn’t a participant in the All Progressives Congress governorship primary election exercise that produced Governor AbdulRazaq as a candidate for the March 11, 2023 governorship election.
The judge added that Section 29 of the Electoral Act 2022 provides that only an aspirant who participated in a party’s political primary exercise can seek to disqualify another for giving false information as in this particular case.
