A Federal High Court in Abuja, yesterday, ordered Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to accept the nomination of Labour Party (LP) candidates in 24 states of the federation for the 2023 general elections.
INEC have been ordered by Supreme Court to accept the nomination of Labour Party candidates in 24 states of the federation for the 2023 general elections.
The 24 states affected by the court order include Kwara, Plateau, Nasarawa, Lagos, Kaduna, Oyo, Benue, Bauchi, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Katsina, Bayelsa and Cross River States. However, at the point of uploading the fresh candidates’ names, INEC claimed its nomination portal was faulty and declined to accept the candidates’ list manually, prompting the 24 legal actions.
Ekwo agreed with the party that nomination and submission of candidates’ list could not be rejected from any party by INEC until 90 days to the general elections.
