Court faults Edo PDP for excluding 381 delegates from primary — but fails to void poll (corrected)

byA federal high court in Abuja has ruled that the Peoples Democratic Party was wrong to have excluded 381 delegates from its primary election held on February 22.

Although the court granted the reliefs sought by the plaintiffs, no consequential order was expressly made nullifying the primary election.“There is no doubt that the second defendant neither complied with the relevant provision of its constitution nor the electoral guidelines for primary elections of 22nd February 2024,” Ekwo said.Advertisement

“Ward congresses are to be held in accordance with the law, the party’s constitution, and electoral guidelines. “An order of mandatory injunction is hereby made restraining the first, second, and third defendants from unlawfully excluding the plaintiffs and the other lawfully elected delegates, whose names and election results appear on Exhibits BID 8A to 8L herein, from participating as 3 ad-hoc ward delegates in the governorship election primaries of the second defendant slated for the 22nd of February, 2024 or any other date.
