INEC's Mohammed Haruna discusses ADC leadership decision timeline

Mallam Mohammed Kudu Haruna, the Chairman of INEC’s Information and Voter Education Committee, disclosed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) may reach a decision regarding the leadership dispute of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) next week. This statement was made during a telephone interview where he addressed inquiries about whether INEC had received the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the High Court judgement related to the ADC dispute.

As of Tuesday night, Haruna confirmed that INEC had not yet received the certified copy of the judgement but had received the ADC's appeal against the ruling and its application for a stay of execution. Haruna indicated that a meeting of the commission would be necessary to discuss the matter once the court document is received.

He noted that the INEC chairman was away on official duties and expected to return on Sunday, which could allow for a meeting on Tuesday or Thursday of the following week, although he cautioned that these dates were not guaranteed.
