Delivering judgment, Bappa-Aliyu held that the PDP lost the opportunity to field a candidate in the 2023 polls for failing to conduct Primaries inline with the guidelines of the Electoral Act 2022 as amended.

The same court had earlier on Sept 16, nullified the first exercise, following alleged irregularities in the Governorship primaries conducted on May 25.

Two governorship aspirants, Dr Ibrahim Shehu-Bakauye and Hafiz Muhammad had after the second exercise approached the court seeking nullification of the second primaries conducted on Sept. 23.

The aspirants had prayed the court to declare the exercise as null and void and to no effect for failing to meet the conditions as stipulated in Section 82 (1 and 5) of the electoral act 2022 as amended.

The plaintiffs in their suit included the PDP, the Chairman of the governorship primary election committee, Mr Felix Hyat, State PDP Chairman, Alhaji Ahmed Sani (Now Late), tate PDP governorship candidates, Dr Dauda Lawal and Independent National Electoral Commission as defendants.

However, Bappa-Aliyu in a judgment held that the primaries conducted by the PDP were unlawful as the primaries did not follow the guidelines of the Electoral Act 2022 as amended.

Bappa-Aliyu said the PDP and other defendants have failed to comply with Section 82 Subsection 1 and 5 of the Electoral Act 2022 as amended, the PDP was no longer qualified to field a governorship candidate in the 2023 general elections in the state.
