Ex-INEC Director Faults INEC’s De-Recognition of David Mark’s ADC Leadership

Barr. Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, a former INEC director, argues the commission misinterpreted an Appeal Court order in the ADC leadership dispute. He says the order only aimed to preserve the case subject matter, not strip legitimacy from any faction. Osaze-Uzzi insists the ADC can go ahead with its planned congresses as long as it respects the court’s authority. He points out the court did not direct INEC to withdraw recognition from either side. He also notes that the Electoral Act requires only a 21-day notification to INEC before a party convention. Physical attendance by INEC officials is not a condition for the validity of internal party elections.
