A presidential aspirant of the African Action Congress has challenged the Independent National Electoral Commission over the recognition of the party’s candidate for 2027. Premium Times Nigeria reported that the aspirant, identified as Mr Faduri, criticised INEC for listing Rufai Omo-Aje as the African Action Congress candidate. Faduri says he is asking the court to compel the commission to recognise his own candidacy.
The report does not provide details of the legal grounds for the challenge, the court where the case was filed or the reliefs sought beyond the request for recognition. It also does not state when INEC listed Omo-Aje or whether the commission has responded to the suit. The dispute concerns the party’s presidential candidacy and the electoral commission’s official listing.
The available material does not establish which aspirant the party itself has endorsed, nor does it indicate whether the litigation has produced an interim order or final judgment.
