Olalekan Adetayo, AbujaA faction of the All Progressives Congress in Zamfara State loyal to the governor, Abdulaziz Yari, has insisted that the Independent National Electoral Commission must include the party in the National Assembly, governorship and state House of Assembly elections. Kelechi said there was a valid court order that directed INEC to include names of APC candidates in the list of those contesting the elections. “That primary election produced the party’s candidates for the governorship, National Assembly and state House of Assembly elections coming up on February 16 and March 2. That is our position.”Kelechi said there was no truth in the claim that there are two conflicting judgments from the state high court and a Federal High Court in Abuja on the matter. He explained that after the judgment of the state high court, some defendants filed an appeal which they later withdrew.
