Another threat to polls election pending at the Supreme Court

Ekejiuba had dragged INEC to court over deregistration of 35 political parties by the commission, which he described as unconstitutional. The matter dragged to the Court of Appeal in Enugu, which delivered judgment in his favour. INEC took the matter to the Supreme Court in Suit No SC.671/2016 and the apex court is yet to deliver judgment on it. The case before the apex court is whether all the political parties formed since the commencement of the current political dispensation in 1999, should be allowed to have their logos in ballot papers for every election in the country. However, Ekejiuba told Vanguard in Onitsha that he would soon file an interlocutory injunction to stop INEC from conducting the Anambra governorship election, unless the Supreme Court delivers judgment on the matter. “INEC took me to the Supreme Court and my argument, which succeeded at the Court of Appeal, is that the commission has no power to exclude any political party formed since 1999 from taking part in any election. Unless the apex court decides on the matter, there will be no election in Anambra State in November,” Ekejiuba said.]]>
