Court nullifies Ebonyi local council election
However, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rejected the outcome of the election and accused the Ebonyi State Independent Electoral Commission (EBSIEC) of manipulating the process in favour of the ruling party.
The judge, who delivered the verdict in a suit with No FHC/AI/CS/151/2022 and filed by the PDP and other opposition parties in the state, held that the election violated the provisions of the 2022 Electoral Act.
He also described the exercise as undemocratic and unlawful.
