The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday at the Federal High Court in Abuja suffered a setback in its legal battle seeking disqualification of
governorship and National Assembly candidates of the Labour Party, LP, and Young Progressives Party, YPP, in the 2023 general elections.PDP had through its counsel, Egwuaba Reuben dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Labour Party and Young Progressives Party before the court praying for outright disqualification of their governorship and National Assembly candidates.
Specifically, PDP alleged that the LP and YPP breached sections 29, 82 and 84 of the Electoral Act 2022 in their respective primary elections that produced the candidates for the 2023 general elections. PDP, therefore, prayed the court to make a declaration that the two parties never conducted any primary elections on any day to select or nominate candidates whose names were purportedly published by INEC to contest the 2023 elections.
The party further applied for another order nullifying the result sheets of the purported primaries on grounds of being illegal, invalid and of no effect whatsoever.
