2023 Polls: INEC Should Respect Court Order On Substitution Of Candidates – NNPP News
With a about a month to the 2023 general election, the New Nigerian People’s Party has strongly criticised the Independent National Electoral Commission for refusing to obey a subsisting Court order on substitution candidates who defected from the party to other platforms.
The National Legal Adviser of the party, Barrister Robert Hon, stated this at a press conference held at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja on Monday, where he accused INEC of evading the decision of the Supreme Court to replace the candidates who left the party and joined other parties on their own will.
“After INEC lost the first and second court cases on this issue, it again contacted three top lawyers and several other cousels in preparation for a Supreme Court battle on this issue,” he said.
“These are the vacancies that the party handed over to INEC to replace the members of the party who left the party on their own free will to join other parties.”The Legal Adviser of NNPP, however, berated INEC over its refusal to obey the court order on substitution of candidates for the 2023 elections.
