Delta: Odebala Sues NDC, INEC, Four Others over Guber Primary

Delta gubernatorial primary candidate Odebala has filed a lawsuit against the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and four others, seeking to be declared the winner of the election held on May 29, 2026. Odebala argues that he received the highest number of votes, including those from Ughelli North LGA, Okpe LGA, and Isoko North LGA.
He wants the court to declare him the winner, prevent any other candidate from being recognized by the NDC as their candidate for the 2027 governorship election, and order INEC and the NDC to replace the names of other candidates with his own. Odebala's team of lawyers contends that the NDC failed to submit final collated results from the four local governments to INEC, artificially reducing his vote count and denying his victory.
