A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, the Federal Capital territory, FCT, yesterday, stopped the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from using any list of candidates from Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the purpose of the state House of Assembly, House of Representatives and Senate in 2015 general elections.
The court gave the order following an application for contempt brought before it by the state PDP chairman, Chief Olu Ogunye. The vacation judge, Justice A. R. Mohammed directed that whichever list of candidates to be used for the 2015 elections from either of the parties to the suit should be determined by Justice Adeniyi Ademola, whose order was violated by INEC.
The court said the entire conte- mpt proceedings and committal to prison application will be determined on January 6, 2015.
Justice Ademola had on December 18, directed that the leadership of PDP and INEC should relate with the Ogunye-led new executive in respect of conduct of primaries and elections into the Ondo State House of Assembly, the House of Representatives and the Senate.
