2027: Businessman sues INEC, NDC over substitution of his name in Enugu North ticket
‘NDC previously affirmed my candidacy’ Mr Ossai recalled that an NDC aspirant, Vincent Obetta, had filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja challenging his emergence from the party’s 29 May senatorial primary for the district.
Mr Ossai asked the court to determine whether, having regard to the provisions of the laws of the NDC and Nigeria, including the Electoral Act 2026 and the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria as amended, INEC can accept and publish the name of any candidate other than the person who emerged with the highest number of votes at the party’s 29 May primary.
