Legal practitioner Obunike Calistus Ohaegbu has filed a lawsuit against the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and five others in the Federal High Court in Abuja. The case, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1219/26, alleges that NDC refused to announce the result of the primary election held in May 2026 for the Nnewi North/Nnewi South/Ekwusigo Federal Constituency of Anambra State.
Ohaegbu claims he scored the majority of lawful votes cast at the primary and asserts that NDC secretly named Ebere Onunkwo as the candidate, violating party guidelines. Ohaegbu seeks an order directing NDC to declare him the winner and submit his name to INEC as the duly nominated candidate. He also requests an order restraining NDC, its officers, agents, and privies from nominating or recognising any other person as their candidate for the constituency.
The judge, Justice Mohammed Garba Umar, adjourned the hearing to October 14 after discovering the two defendants had not been served with the mandatory hearing notice.
