Federal High Court Orders Fresh PDP Governorship Primary in Ekiti State Due to Irregularities
The Federal High Court in Ekiti State has nullified the PDP governorship primary election held in 2026, ordering the party to conduct a fresh primary. Justice Bab Kuewumi upheld allegations of irregularities raised by aspirant Funso Ayeni, citing manipulation and approval of delegate lists.
The court emphasized the violation of party guidelines and the need for transparent and fair internal democratic processes. The ruling poses a significant setback for the PDP as they prepare for the 2026 gubernatorial race.
The party plans to explore legal options, including filing an appeal. PDP spokesperson, Dr. Wole Oluyed, dismissed claims of a conspiracy against the party, asserting that the primary election was free and fair.
