By Leonard UfonduASABA—A Federal High Court sitting in Asaba, Delta State, has been asked to nullify the All Progressives Congress, APC, primary election for the Ndokwa/Ukwuani Federal Constituency held on May 16, 2026.
The suit was filed by an aspirant, Mr. Chukwuemeke Victor, through his counsel, Mr. Evans Ufeli, challenging the primary that produced Mr. Nnamdi Ezechi as the party’s candidate.
Victor is asking the court to declare the exercise invalid, alleging non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the 1999 Constitution and the APC Constitution.
According to the court processes, the applicant contended that the party failed to adequately communicate its guidelines, the venue and the mode of the primary election to aspirants and party members before the exercise.
He further alleged that the decision to adopt the direct primary mode “was communicated only a few hours before the election,” making it difficult for aspirants to prepare adequately.
