BREAKING: Court nullifies Edo PDP primary election 

Published by

Justice Inyang Ekwo of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Thursday nullified the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election that produced Asue Ighodalo as its governorship candidate.

The primary election conducted on February 22, 2024, was voided by Justice Ekwo on the ground that 378 delegates who were supposed to vote at the primary election were unlawfully excluded by the PDP.

The Judge invalidated the primary election while delivering judgment in a suit marked THC/ABJ/CS/165/2024 instituted by one Hon Kelvin Mohammed in a representative capacity.

Justice Ekwo held that both the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 and the PDP Guidelines were grossly violated in the conduct of the primary election at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium in Benin.
