According to a news report from New Telegraph, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has issued a stern caution to the state Independent Electoral Commission (KWSIEC). It implored the electoral body to conform to a recent judicial directive that has expressly barred the local government election scheduled for September 21.

The party has affirmed its preparedness to participate in the polls, provided KWASIEC abides to the rules and regulations;

“Kicked against illegal actions deliberately concocted as a booby trap to ensure the nullification of the outcome of the elections if it does not favour the government in power.”

A federal high court in Abuja had restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from releasing the national voter register to the KWSIEC to conduct the September 21 local government election in the state, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice filed by PDP for interlocutory injunction.

Justice Peter Lifu also stopped KWSIEC and the state Attorney General (AG) from receiving, accepting, or using the national voter register or any part relating to Kwara State from the electoral body for the council’s election in Kwara State.
