A Federal High Court has fixed October 22, 2014, to rule on an ex-parte motion brought by the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) seeking to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from further creating additional 30,000 polling units pending the determination of the substantive suit.
In an ex-parte application moved before Justice Abdul Kafarati, the
plaintiff’s counsel, Mrs. Nella Andem-Rabana, further prayed the court
for an interim injunction restraining the defendant and its privies from
further creating, delineating, allocating any additional polling units
to any part of the country pending the final determination of the motion
on notice.
The party argued that it is speculative and premature for INEC to purportedly create additional polling units across the country based on projected registered voters when the field data collection from the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) distribution and Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) are yet to be concluded.
The plaintiff in its substantive suit is seeking an order of court declaring that the purported creation of additional 30,000 polling units in Nigeria by the defendant is ultra vires, unconstitutional, mala fide, null, void and of no effect whatsoever.
