Lawyer Sues NDC for Not Announcing Primary Election Results
Obunike Calistus Ohaegbu, a legal practitioner, has initiated legal action against the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Federal High Court in Abuja, claiming the party's national leadership refused to announce the results of the primary election held in May 2026 for the Nnewi North/Nnewi South/Ekwusigo Federal Constituency of Anambra State. Ohaegbu, who asserts he received the majority of lawful votes, alleges that the NDC secretly adopted Dr. Ebere Onunkwo as the candidate, violating the party's primary election guidelines.
He seeks a court order compelling the NDC to declare him the winner and to submit his name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the official candidate. Additionally, he requests an order to prevent the NDC and INEC from recognizing any other candidate.
During a recent court session, the hearing was postponed due to the absence of some defendants, with the judge scheduling a new hearing for October 14, ensuring all parties receive proper notice.
