The Unity Party of Nigeria has approached an Abuja Federal High Court seeking for an order quashing or cancelling the creation of, delineation of or allocation of any additional polling units in any part of Nigeria by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
In three separate motions filed before the court, the party is asking the court for an order of perpetual injunction restraining the electoral body from creating additional 30,000 polling units in any part of the country without proper recourse to demographics, geographical population, statistics and record of voters within the wards.
The party is also praying the court for an order restraining the commission from putting into use any additional 30,000 polling units in Nigeria before the 2015 general elections.
The party further prays the court for a declaration that the purported creation of additional 30,000 polling units in Nigeria by INEC is ultra vires, unconstitutional, mala fide, null, void and of no effect whatsoever.
No date has been fixed for the hearing of the suit.
