The party, through its lawyer, J.A. Otorudo Esq, on July 4, filed an originating summons with Suit No. OUHC/127/2024 at the Otor-Udu High Court, saying it had to do with alleged wrongful and illegal guidelines.

He urged the court to declare null and void any and every step so far taken by the commission in accordance with the guidelines which the body published on May 3, 2024 for the conduct of the July 13, 2024 local government election.
