Supreme Court judgement: Affected candidates to know fate next week

Indications have emerged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is considering moving against candidates who violated certain provisions of the 2026 Electoral Act in respect to Thursday’s judgment of the Supreme Court.

Candidates who emerged in controversial primaries have been of the opinion that since the Supreme Court did not mention any candidate by name, INEC cannot take any action on them without a recourse to the court for direct pronouncement.

A highly reliable source in INEC who spoke with Daily Trust confirmed that the commission is worried about the anxiety generated as a result of the judgement and the various interpretations it is being given that it may go ahead and impose the necessary sanctions once the legal department okays the action.
