Oko Jumbo, Order stopping INEC from conducting election for 27 vacant seats in Rivers HoA has elapsed

 

There is currently no court order preventing INEC from holding by-elections for the 27 open seats in the state’s House of Assembly, according to the three-member group of the Rivers House of Assembly led by Oko Jumbo. During a live broadcast on Symfoni TV, Oko Jumbo clarified that a court order was the sole thing keeping INEC from holding these elections. However, the Federal High Court recently dismissed the case related to this order. He said that the court order prohibiting INEC from holding the polls had also ended as a result of this decision.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>

In Jumbo’s words: “The only impediment to INEC conducting a by-election to fill the 27 vacant seats in the Rivers State House of Assembly was the order of interlocutory injunction restraining INEC from conducting a by-election. Now that suit number FHC/Abj/CS/I681/2023 has been struck out, the order of interlocutory injunction is also spent. Accordingly, as the Rt Hon Speaker of Rivers House of Assembly, I call on INEC to conduct a by-election to fill the 27 vacant seats in the Rivers State House of Assembly”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
