JUST IN: PEPC strikes out 17 paragraphs of Obi, LP’s petition, reveals reason
The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has struck out parts of the petition by Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP).
During its proceeding held in Abuja on Wednesday, September 6, the court dismissed Obi’s petition on the grounds that it contained vague and generic allegations.
Specifically, the court noted that the petitioners did not show which polling units the malpractices alleged occurred; the number of votes affected; and their polling unit agents who reported the alleged irregularities and malpractices, among others.
It rejected the respondents’ argument that Obi was not a member of the LP at the time of the election, noting that membership is an internal affair of a political party, which has the sole power to determine who its members are.
The court held that it did not lie with the respondents to question Obi’s membership of the LP.
