 The Federal High Court in Ebonyi has again declared the rescheduled People Democratic Party’s 4th and 5th June 2022 primaries in Ebonyi invalid and has recognized Ifeanyi-Chukwuma Odii as the authentic gubernatorial candidate of the party for the 2023 polls.

Our Correspondent in that State, Emmanuel Nnaji, reports that The Presiding Judge, Justice Fatun Riman, declared the repeated primaries as invalid saying they were not monitored by the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Recall that the party rescheduled and conducted a fresh primary on June 4th and 5th 2022 which elected Obinna Ogba after its Initial primaries in Ebonyi State on May 28th and 29th that elected Odii.
