PDPCandidates seeking elective positions under the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State may have to wait a while as an Abuja High Court has fixed Monday, January 5, 2015 to hear a plethora of applications filed by parties from the state.

At the resumed hearing of the suit, lawyer to the PDP, Dr Alex Izinyon challenged the motion filed by Mr Solomon Umoh seeking to vacate the order of the court restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from accepting, publishing or recognizing any list of candidates that may be submitted to it by the Anambra State executive of the party for the 2015 general elections.

Mr  Umoh however opposed the argument of Doctor Alex Izinyon.

He told the court that having been served with multiple applications by Dr Izinyon, including a preliminary objection, he needed time to respond to the issues raised by the National Executive Committee of the PDP as it affects the lists of candidates from Anambra state.

Having listened to the arguments of both parties, Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf granted the prayer of Mr Umoh and adjourned the matter for hearing till Monday , January 5, 2015.

It will be recalled that three parallel primary elections were conducted in the state to elect flag-bearers for the party in the 2015 elections.
