BEVERLY HILLS, March 26, (THEWILL) – A high court in Yola, Adamawa state capital, has given an order to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to proceed with the supplementary election in the state.
The court had previously restrained the commission from conducting the exercise based on a suit filed by Mustafa Shaba, candidate of the Movement For Restoration and Defense for Democracy (MRDD) in the election.
Shaba had sued the commission over the absence of his party’s logo on the ballot paper of the election held on March 9, that was declared inconclusive.
While the exercise held in other states on Saturday last week, the governorship supplementary election failed to hold in Adamawa as a result of a suit filed against INEC by Shaba.
