Awards N2.5m against PDP

29th September, 2021

Justice Yakubu Kunda of High Court 5 sitting in Jos has dismissed a suit filed before him by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenging the decision of the Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC) to exclude it from participating in the October 9th, 2021 LGC polls.
In his Judgment, Justice Kunda held that PLASIEC was legally right to have refused PDP nomination and expression of interest forms for the said election adding that the PDP instead of abiding by the judgment of SP Gang of November 20, 202 to conduct state Congress, the party went ahead to evoke sections of its constitution to dissolve the state EXCO and constituted a Caretaker Committee which conducted the primaries that produced the candidates which PLASIEC refused to issue forms.
