Dr. Johnson Chukwuka, a presidential aspirant of the Action Democratic Party, has filed a lawsuit against his own party and the Independent National Electoral Commission in the Federal High Court in Abuja. Chukwuka is challenging the election of Abbas-Bin Aliyu as the party's presidential candidate for the 2027 election, asserting that the ADP did not conduct a valid presidential primary on May 29 and 30, 2026.
Chukwuka's legal team contends that the submission of Aliyu's name to INEC, which was displayed on the notice board on August 1, was unlawful, unconstitutional, and null and void. Chukwuka seeks to have the primary results voided and declares himself the duly elected presidential candidate of the ADP.
