 Rivers State High Court Nullifies 2024 PDP Congresses, Restrains State Executive Committee

In a landmark decision, the Rivers State High Court has annulled the 2024 congresses conducted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) within the state. This ruling effectively dissolves the outcomes of these congresses, casting a shadow over the party's internal democratic processes.





Presiding Judge Stephen Jumbo issued the order on Monday, responding to an interlocutory injunction filed by legal practitioners Edwin Woko and Love Otuonye, alongside two other PDP members.The suit targeted Aaron Chukwuemeka and nine additional defendants, challenging the legitimacy of the recent congresses and the authority of the current state executive committee.

The court's decision not only nullifies the congresses but also restrains the state executive committee from overseeing the party's affairs.Furthermore, Aaron Chukwuemeka has been barred from presenting himself as the PDP chairman in Rivers State.This development signifies a significant upheaval within the state's PDP structure, potentially influencing the party's operations and strategies in forthcoming elections.

This ruling underscores the judiciary's role in upholding internal party democracy and ensuring adherence to legal and ethical standards.The implications of this judgment are poised to resonate throughout the state's political landscape, prompting discussions on the future direction of the PDP in Rivers State.

As the situation unfolds, stakeholders within the PDP and the broader political community will be closely monitoring the party's response and the steps taken to address the court's findings.The annulment of the congresses calls for a reassessment of the party's internal processes to restore credibility and public trust.
