INEC Vows to Obey Only Orders of Properly Constituted Court
The Independent National Electoral Commission has said that it is closely monitoring pre-election litigations from the courts and vowed to obey all genuine court orders.
According to Okoye, “political parties should note that the organisation and scheduling of various activities and processes leading to the conduct of elections are complex and involve extensive and careful planning and any disruption of these processes comes at a huge cost to the nation. However, a source in INEC, while responding to THISDAY inquiry on how the commission will determine which court order is valid or not without being seen as sitting in an appeal on the court orders or cherry picking, said Section 87 of the Electoral Act, which says no court shall stop the holding of any primary or main election pending the determination of the substantive suit, would guide the commission.
