Court orders INEC to recognise Olawepo-Hashim’s as Accord Party presidential candidate
Mr Umar, therefore, ordered the Accord Party to immediately recognise Mr Olawepo-Hashim as its sole presidential candidate for the 2027 election and forward his name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for onward uploading of his name onto its portal as required.
The plaintiff, in the suit, prayed the court to compel his party to forward his name to the electoral umpire as a validly nominated presidential candidate for the forthcoming presidential poll, among others.
