In a legal dispute concerning the Edo South NDC senatorial ticket for the 2027 general election, a Nigerian court has set November 26 for judgment. Former lawmaker Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma is challenging the party's selection of Sunday Aguebor and later Osayuki Asemota as their candidates, claiming he garnered the highest number of lawful votes in the primary election but was unlawfully substituted.
Agbonayinma is seeking a declaration nullifying the nominations of Asemota and Aguebor, and restoring himself as the rightful candidate. The case also names the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the NDC, Mrs. Asemota and Aguebor as defendants. During a recent hearing, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja scheduled the judgment to take place on November 26 following the lawyers' final arguments in the matter.
