Following an order of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has clarified its position on the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) convention, scheduled for Saturday May 21 in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The court order had specifically restrained INEC from monitoring and/or recognizing the conduct of elections by the PDP into the offices of National Chairman, National Secretary and National Auditor respectively.
As a result, the commission’s monitoring team to the convention shall only monitor elections into the unaffected offices and not the offices of National Chairman, National Secretary and National Auditor, in compliance with the court order.
