The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawyers have issued a three-day ultimatum to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish the name of Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim on the final list of candidates for the 2027 Gombe State governorship election. Ibrahim, the candidate for the PDP, was omitted from the list published on October 10, 2026, leading the lawyers to describe the omission as unlawful and unexplained.
The lawyers argue that Ibrahim is a duly registered member of the PDP and emerged as the winner of the primary election held on May 26, 2026. They also state that the court nullified the primary held on May 26 and directed the PDP to conduct a fresh election within 30 days. The PDP lawyers demand that the Commission publish Ibrahim's name as per the court's orders and the PDP's instructions.
