The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday said it will comply with court orders on the Anambra governorship elections as stipulated in Section 287 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic.
Two High Courts in Anambra have directed the commission to publish the names of Senator Ugochukwu Uba of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Prof Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).for the November 6 election without further delay.
In their separate judgments on Monday in Awka, Justice Obiora Nwabunike, who presided over the case involving Uba, Valentine Ozigbo and the PDP, said the party erred by using what is called ‘Super delegates’ without vacating the Abuja Court order.
An Anambra State High Court sitting in Awka, the state capital, yesterday ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to list Senator Ugochukwu Uba as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the November 6 governorship election in the state.
The court presided over by Justice Obiora Nwabunike gave the order in a matter brought before it by Senator Ugochukwu Uba against Mr Valentine Ozigbo, the state chapter of the PDP and INEC.
According to the court order, Uba’s faction of the party held its primary election in line with the guidelines of the party and should therefore be listed as the governorship candidate.
