A State High Court sitting in Yola, presided over by Justice Abdulazeez Waziri on Tuesday vacated its earlier order restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), from conducting the Governorship Supplementary election in Adamawa state.

The court has also ruled that, it has the jurisdiction to adjudicate on the case filed before it by the Movement for the Restoration and Defence of Democracy MRDD party against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in the state.

Subsequently the court has fixed Wednesday  March 27 to hear the originating motion by MRDD asking the court to nullify the  Governorship election conducted on March 9 alleging that INEC, over absence of party logo  during the gubernatorial election in the state.

Reacting to the judgement, Barrister Mustpha Ibrahim, Counsel to MRDD party, said ruling is a perfect ruling, as there is no point granting accelerated hearing and at the same time granting an order to retrain conduct of elections.

“The main substances to our case, is the removal of the MRDD party logo from ballot papers, which constitutes the disqualification from the entire election.
