PDP takes Ned Nwoko to court, demands Senate seat be declared vacant

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has filed a lawsuit at the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking to unseat Senator Ned Munir Nwoko after his recent defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The party argues that Nwoko’s departure from the PDP renders his seat in the Senate vacant and is calling for an urgent by-election to replace him.

In Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/454/2025, the PDP, represented by its counsel Dr. Ayo Asala (SAN), is requesting the court to enforce constitutional provisions on party defection. The suit names Senator Nwoko as the first defendant, while the President of the Senate and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are the second and third defendants, respectively.
