The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and his party has withdrew a fresh application they filed seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to allow their agents to participate in the process of sorting out ballot papers that were used for the February 25, 2023, presidential election.
Both Atiku and PDP, who are challenging the outcome of the election that was declared in favour the candidate of the All Progressives Congress Bola Ahmed Tinubu, told the Presidential Election Petition Court, sitting at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, on Wednesday that they were no longer interested in the application.
A member of Atiku’s legal team, who did not want his name mentioned said, the exparte motion was filed because of the challenges and administrative bottlenecks encountered at the INEC office when agents of the PDP and its presidential candidate went to access the election materials as ordered by the court, Nigerian Tribune reports.
“It was at that meeting which held yesterday that all the grey areas were sorted out, with INEC, pledging to allow our agents to observe the process of sorting out some of the electoral materials we requested for, especially the ballot papers.
