Anambra Central: Umeh wins, court orders INEC to conduct election in the next 90 days.

Appeal Court orders INEC to conduct Anambra Central Senatorial election without PDP.

The Appeal Court which sat by 2pm, this afternoon delivered the judgement in an appeal filed by the INEC and joined by Chief Victor Umeh against the judgement of Justice Chikere of the Federal High Court, Abuja which ordered INEC to include PDP in the postponed March 5, 2016 scheduled rerun election.

Delivering judgement, Appeal Court said that the trial court erred by ordering INEC to include PDP.

According to AIF Media reporter at the court, the appellate court ruled that since the PDP primaries that brought Iyom Ekwunife for the March 28, 2015 Anambra Central Senatorial was nullified by the Appeal Tribunal, Enugu on December 5, 2015 that PDP has lost the right to either conduct a fresh primaries or substitute their candidate.

The Appeal Court went further to bar INEC from including PDP in the ballot and ordered for the rerun election into the Anambra Central Senatorial election to be conducted in the next 90 days.
