Barely two days to the general election, the Independent National Electoral Commission has removed the name of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala federal constituency, Imo State, Albert Agulanna from the list of House of Representatives candidates scheduled for the February 25 election.



The withdrawal followed the court order by the Appeal Court in January.

A check on the INEC website by our correspondent on Wednesday reveals that the electoral body, based on a court order, did not include any name as a candidate of the party.

The electoral commission added “court order” as part of the reasons for the withdrawal.

In January, a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja sacked the federal constituency candidate of the PDP in the state, Albert Agulanna.
