AN Awka Federal High Court presided over by
Justice M.L. Abubakar has reserved ruling to December 12, 2013 in an
application for interlocutory injunction brought before it by the embattled
chairman of the Anambra State Independent Commission (ANSIEC), Prof. Titus
Eze, against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the
ANSIEC.
The injunction is seeking to stop
the state government from going ahead to conduct council election on December
21, 2013, as already fixed.
At the resumed hearings in the
matter yesterday, Eze, through his lead counsel, Chief Nnamdi Ibegbu (SAN),
applied for an injunction to stop the scheduled election pending the
determination of the substantive suit. The main suit, according to Ibegbu,
bothers on the position of the chairman.
He disclosed that based on the laws
governing the local council elections and the ANSIEC, there would indeed be no
council election in the state without the Chief Electoral Officer who is the
chairman in place.
