A Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday reserved judgment in a suit seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission to recognise the Kabiru Turaki (SAN)-led interim National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, in the latest legal battle over the opposition party’s leadership crisis.
Justice Salim Ibrahim fixed no date for the judgment after the parties adopted their final written addresses in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1159/2026.
The judge said the date for the judgment would be communicated to counsel at least 24 hours before its delivery.
The suit was instituted by members of the PDP Board of Trustees led by former Senate President Adolphus Wabara, asking the court to order INEC to recognise the party’s INWC headed by Turaki.
The plaintiffs are also seeking an order directing INEC to immediately update its records and publish on its official website the composition of the interim NWC as forwarded to the commission by the plaintiffs and the party’s National Executive Committee.
