A Federal High Court sitting in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, has ordered for rerun of all primary elections conducted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State.
The order came after the presiding judge nullified all primaries conducted by the various factions of the party.
The Presiding Judge, Justice O.O Oguntoyinbo ruled that all the primaries conducted didn’t follow the principles of the Electoral Act.
A governorship aspirant, Jimi Lawal, had approached the Court challenging the delegate list used during the primary by the Sikirulahi Ogundele faction of the party held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta.
Other candidates had also approached the Court to challenge the authenticity of the Sikirulahi Ogundele-led state executive of the party in the state.
