Court stops Ondo PDP’s list of candidates
An Abuja Federal High Court has stopped the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from using any list of candidates from the Ondo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the House of Assembly, House of Representatives and Senate
elections.
The court gave the order, following an application for contempt filed by the state PDP Chairman, Chief Olu Ogunye.
The vacation judge, Justice A. R. Mohammed, directed that whichever list of candidates to be used for the elections from either of the parties to the suit should be determined by Justice Adeniyi Ademola, whose order was violated by INEC.
The court also ruled that the entire contempt proceedings and committal to prison application would be determined on January 6.
Justice Ademola, on December 18, directed that the leadership of PDP and INEC should relate with the
Ogunye-led new executive in respect of conduct of primaries and elections into the House of Assembly, House of Representatives and the Senate.
This order was allegedly violated by INEC and the PDP, which precipitated the contempt motion.
