Election: APC has no gov candidate in Taraba - PDP - Punch Newspapers
Ologunagba stated according to the provision of the Electoral Act “Where a political party fails to comply with the provisions of this Act in the conduct of its primaries, its candidate for election shall not be included in the election for the particular position in the issue.
“Section 84 of the Electoral Act is quite clear on the effect of failure to comply with the provisions of the Act and the Guideline of a Political Party in the selection or nomination of a candidate for election. Its Candidate shall not be included in the election for the particular position in the issue.”
The spokesperson of the party further remarked that the implication of the Supreme Court’s Judgment, therefore, is that INEC is effectively restrained from accepting or recognising any governorship candidate from the APC for the March 18, 2023, governorship election in Taraba State. He pointed out that “INEC must therefore be guided by the hierarchy of courts in Nigeria and the finality of the pronouncements in the Judgment of the Supreme Court on any issue or subject upon which it has ruled, ordered or given judgment.
He advised the people of Taraba that any vote therefore cast or credited to the APC on March 18, 2023, governorship election in Taraba State will be treated as a wasted vote.All rights reserved.
