The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has filed a legal challenge against the All Progressives Congress (APC) after failing to win any of the five council chairmanship positions in the recent Federal Capital Territory (FCT) elections.
PDP alleges electoral irregularities and malpractice, claiming that the process undermined the will of the voters. The party is seeking judicial review to contest the results and ensure fairness in the FCT polls.
APC, which swept all five councils, maintains that the elections were conducted fairly and transparently under the supervision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and that the results reflect the genuine choice of FCT residents.
Political analysts say the case underscores the high stakes of local elections in Nigeria and highlights ongoing tensions between the nation’s leading political parties. The court is yet to schedule a hearing, and both parties are expected to present their arguments in the coming days.
