Court to Deliver Judgment on Bauchi Governorship Election March 25

comments
by AIT / 8 months ago / Nation 
The Federal High Court Abuja will on Monday, March 25, decide if the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) can go ahead to collate and announce the governorship election results in Bauchi state.

Federal High Court Abuja

Justice Inyang Ekwo fixed the date on Thursday after counsel in the suit adopted their final briefs of argument in the matter.

The judge also held that on that same March 25, he would decide if he has jurisdiction to hear the suit as challenged by INEC.

In the suit filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, incumbent governor of Bauchi State, Mohammed Abubakar, is asking the court to determine whether INEC has declared the March 9, governorship election in Bauchi inconclusive, can on its own rescind the decision and go ahead to resume collation, concluding and declaring any person as winner of the election.

The plaintiffs are praying for an order of the court prohibiting INEC from resuming collation of result for an election that has been officially declared inconclusive by a returning officer.

But INEC in its objection is challenging the powers of the court to dabble into a post-election matter.

INEC said that although the governorship election in Bauchi state was declared inconclusive, it, however, rescinded its decision based on facts that emerged later and made a return, adding that any grievance arising from that return should be channelled to the election petition tribunal.

Justice Ekwo had earlier ordered that INEC should not take further steps in respect of collating, concluding and announcing anyone as the winner of the governorship election in Bauchi state pending the hearing and determination of the suit.
