A Federal High Court in Abuja has upheld the decision of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by refusing to accept list of candidates for the next general elections from the Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The INEC back in October, 2018, refused to field APC candidates for the 2019 general elections in Zamfara after the party failed to elect its candidates within the stipulated time, okay reports.

However, Adams Oshiomhole, the national party chairman, insisted that the will field a candidate for the election in the state.

In a judgment on Friday, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu said, it was not the fault of INEC that the APC failed to conduct a valid primary within the period scheduled by the electoral body.

Justice Onjukwu said INEC’s action was intended to curb impunity among political parties and politicians; ensure that rule of law is adhered to.

The judgment was on a suit filed in the name of APC by some individuals, who said they emerged from a consensus arrangement adopted by the party in Zamfara State.
