| Young Democratic Party {YDP} Drags INEC to court |
The Young Democratic Party (YDP) has dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to court for allegedly being responsible for its abysmal performance in the Sept. 28 gubernatorial election in Edo.
The Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mrs Evelyn Okere, made this known at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday. Okere attributed the poor number of votes scored by party to the failure of INEC to display the correct logo of the party on the ballot paper.
Mr Raphael Sebibo-Horsfall, a Board of Trustees member of the Party added that "when our members went out to vote and did not see our logo on the ballot paper, they were greatly disappointed and cried out.” He added that INEC had denied the youths in Edo an opportunity to elect their leader and it would be unfair for the commission to go ahead to announce a winner in the election. He said the party would follow all the necessary legal processes to get justice for its members.
