PDP rejects exparte order stopping the final collation of Bauchi State Guber poll.

The People's Democratic Party, PDP, has vehemently rejected the order by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for stopping the final collection of the recently concluded gubernatorial poll in Bauchi State.

The Party has reportedly alleged the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, of controlling the judiciary and the court following the unconstitutionally halt the conclusion of collation of already declared results in the Bauchi State Governorship election, which was said to have been won by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

"The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, vehemently rejects the arm-twisting of the judiciary and the court by the All Progressive Congress, APC, to unconstitutionally halt the conclusion of collation of already declared results in the Bauchi State Governorship election, which has been won by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

"Such development which is akin to the infamous order that derailed the 1993 democratic process, is part of the plot by the APC and certain compromised elements in the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to escalate crisis and derail our electoral process.

"The power to collate, suspend collation &or to reverse such decision based on obvious circumstances as the case in Bauchi is clearly within the domain of the Electoral Commission. Until Collation is completed & results declared no one can question the constitutional powers of INEC.

"The PDP cautions that if this desperate underhand measure by the APC to halt electoral processes is not checked, our hard earned democracy will fail us and our nation thrown into anarchy.

"It is clear that collation of result is part of the electoral process and that INEC cannot act on a purported exparte order to jettison its independence and halt the collation of results, which is a key component of its statutory electoral duty.

"Section 87 (10) of the Electoral Act is unambiguous in its prescription that “nothing in this section shall empower the courts to stop the holding of primaries or general election or the processes thereof under this Act pending the determination of a suit."
