And since the return to democratic rule in 1999, conduct of elections has come under serious scrutiny and hash criticism. A party primary is the beginning of electoral process and it is fundamental for democracy to thrive. No court order should halt the conduct of party primary.

The electoral law should mandate INEC to conduct elections not later than 180 days before inauguration of new government.
