A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has restrained the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from proceeding with its proposed national convention scheduled to hold on November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Delivering judgment on Friday, Justice James Omotosho ruled that the party violated the 1999 Constitution, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) guidelines, and its own constitution by failing to conduct valid state congresses before convening a national convention.
The ruling effectively puts the PDP’s planned convention on hold pending compliance with the relevant electoral procedures.
