The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has again lost at Supreme Court seeking the disqualification of the Bola Tinubu-Kashim Shettima ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 25 February election.
The court today dismissed the suit just like the High and appellate court earlier did on the grounds that the PDP lacked locus standi to have instituted the suit.
PDP anchored its prayer on the grounds of alleged double nomination of Mr Shettima as APC’s vice-presidential candidate and the party’s senatorial candidate for Borno Central in the same election cycle which was a breach of the provisions of sections 29(1), 33, 35, and 84(1)(2) of the Electoral Act, 2022.
A five-member panel of the supreme court held on that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lacked the locus standi to institute the suit.
The panel said the PDP is not a member of the APC
