Kwara PDP To KWSIEC: Obey Court Order On LG Poll

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has asked the state Independent Electoral Commission (KWSIEC) to comply with the recent court order restraining it from proceeding with the local government election slated for September 21.

The party, which expressed its readiness for the local government election any day once KWASIEC follows the laid down rules and regulations;

“Kicked against illegal actions deliberately concocted as a booby trap to ensure the nullification of the outcome of the elections if it does not favour the government in power.”

A federal high court in Abuja had restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from releasing the national voter register to the KWSIEC to conduct the September 21 local government election in the state, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice filed by PDP for interlocutory injunction.

Justice Peter Lifu also stopped KWSIEC and the state Attorney General (AG) from receiving, accepting, or using the national voter register or any part relating to Kwara State from the electoral body for the council’s election in Kwara State.
