आंकड़ों में
The Federal High Court in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, has adjourned to a later date the lawsuit filed by Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim against the Accord Party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The plaintiff demands that his party recognize him as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections and that his name be submitted to INEC.
Olawepo-Hashim's lawyer argued that his client won the party primaries but his name was not communicated to the relevant authorities, claiming that the cancellation documents submitted by the party and INEC were invalid and fabricated. In response, the Accord Party and INEC demanded the dismissal of the case, stating that the primaries were properly canceled because no candidates applied, and therefore, the electoral commission did not monitor the process.
The plaintiff alternatively requested that a new presidential primary be held in which he could participate. The court, presided over by Justice Mohammed Umar, announced that it would deliver its ruling at a later date following the hearing where all parties submitted their written statements.
