2023: APC Asks Court To Disqualify All PDP Candidates In Rivers

The All Progressives Congress in Rivers State has dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission, the Peoples Democratic Party, its governorship candidate, Sim Fubara, and thirty-one others before a Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, over “non-compliance to electoral act”.

The APC is praying the court to disqualify all the candidates of the PDP for the 2023 general elections for “delaying” to forward the register containing the names of their candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission within thirty days as required by law.

The APC also wants the court to disqualify all the PDP candidates in the state for not properly signing the letter containing the names of the candidates before forwarding it.
