House of Representatives aspirant, Sarah Ivie Adidi, has rejected the outcome of the All Progressives Congress, APC, primary election for the AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency.
In a statement released by the Sarah Ivie Adidi Campaign Council on Monday, the aspirant alleged that no voting took place in several wards during the exercise held on Saturday.
Adidi insisted that the primary election lacked credibility, transparency and legitimacy.
According to her, party members were denied the opportunity to vote across parts of the constituency.
Calling for a cancellation of the exercise, Adidi threatened to take legal action over the matter.
Supporters and registered APC members in wards across the AMAC and Bwari Area Councils were fully prepared for the exercise, but discovered that election officials and materials were not deployed to several locations, Adidi further alleged.
“We have credible video evidence confirming that election officials and materials were never deployed to my ward and many other wards within the constituency,” the aspirant said in the statement.
She added that party members and supporters waited for hours in many areas without the commencement of accreditation or voting.
The Sarah Ivie Adidi Champaign Council said the development violated democratic principles and the spirit of internal party democracy.
“An election cannot be said to have taken place where no voting occurred and where party members were denied the opportunity to exercise their constitutional and democratic rights,” the statement added.
Adidi further alleged that the exercise appeared to have been orchestrated to impose a predetermined outcome without due process.
She called on the APC leadership at both the state and national levels to investigate the conduct of the primary election and take corrective action in the interest of fairness and party integrity.
