With Five (5) days to the slated Rerun Election fixed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the 3rd of February 2024, for Plateau North Senatorial District and Bassa/Jos-North Constituency, worries and political tension have continued to characterize the state’s political climate with the pending case of the Plateau State chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Simon Mwadkon and Hon. Musa Agah at the Federal High Court, Abuja.
You would recall that from the Motion Expert earlier filed dated 11th January 2024 and moved on the 15th of January 2024 by the Plaintiffs (PDP, Hon. Simon Mwadkon and Hon. Musa Agah) at the Federal High Court Abuja, in suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/26/2024, the Plaintiffs had sought for an Order of the Federal High Court, granting leave to the candidate of the PDP in the 2023 Plateau North Senatorial District (Mwadkon) and that of Bassa/Jos-North House of Representatives candidate (Agah) respectively, to be included in the slated Rerun elections.
The sole defendant from the face of the Suit you would recall is INEC.
The tension is high as the election is only 5 days away and the PDP, its members, and supporters are still having their hopes hanging, even though the party has officially flagged off its campaign to garner votes.
REALITY, however, gathered that the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Labour Party (LP), and the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), being the major contending political parties in the slated elections seem not perturbed, over the PDP flagged-off campaign.
REALITY further gathered that the candidates of APC, LP, and the PRP, have rather started applying a house-to-house campaign with little out-door campaign ceremonies.
