The matter between the Plateau State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against, the Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC), which came up yesterday has been adjourned to the 5th of August, 2021, to enable parties prepare for the Preliminary Objection (PO) filed by PLASIEC.
You would recall that, the PDP is challenging the powers of PLASIEC as expressed in rejecting the candidates of the party in the forthcoming Local Government elections in the state and the party is also challenging the Commission for not issuing Nomination forms to the candidates in respect of the said election.
REALITY gathered that, one of the major grounds of the PO filed by PLASIEC challenging the suit filed by the PDP is that, the necessary parties are not before the court, since the candidates of the PDP are not joined.
After a careful submission from, E. D Pwajok SAN (PDP’S LEAD COUNSEL), the Plateau State High Court, agreed to adjourned the matter to the 5th of August, when it would take the PO and the substantive matter together.
MORE TO COME….
