The Independent National Electoral Commission has raised an alarm over the conflicting court orders arising from the disputes among members of the same party.
“The Commission is worried about the spate and rapidity of conflicting court orders mostly obtained ex-parte involving substantially the same parties, on the same or similar grounds and from courts of coordinate jurisdiction on issues and challenges around the administration of political parties and conduct of party primaries,” he said.
He urged the NBA to tell its members not to allow personal considerations to outweigh their commitment to the profession, the rule of law and due process. Okoye explained that the call became necessary after INEC met on Thursday and deliberated on various issues, including the effect of conflicting court orders and pending bye-elections that arose as a result of resignations and death of members of the National and State Assemblies.
