Appeal Court has cleared doubts on issues of locus in party’s primaries – Omotayo

As various post-election litigations rage on in the build-up to The 2023 general election, the President of Civil Rights Realisation and Advancement Network, CRRAN, Olu Omotayo, says that the Court of Appeal had since the signing into law of the Electoral Act 2022 abundantly established the issue of locus standi in matters relating to challenging the outcomes of the primary election of political parties.

Omotayo said both the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court had also before the passage of the Electoral Act 2022 equally frowned at what he termed the busybody attitude of some political actors, who challenge the primary elections of parties other than their own.
