Court Nullifies Edo PDP Governorship Primaries

A Federal High Court in Abuja has declared the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) governorship primary election in Edo State null and void.

The primary, held on February 22, 2024, was deemed invalid due to the exclusion of 378 delegates from the voting process.

The court’s ruling was in response to a lawsuit marked THC/ABJ/CS/165/2024 filed by Hon. Kelvin Mohammed, Gabriel Okoduwa, and Ederaho Osagie, representing the aggrieved delegates.

The plaintiffs argued that the primary election violated both the Electoral Act of 2022 and the PDP’s guidelines.
