They contended that on July 14, when Shettima accepted the nomination for vice-presidential candidate, he was still officially the APC candidate for Borno Central Senatorial District.
However, in a decisive ruling delivered on Wednesday, the PEPT asserted that this matter falls within the category of pre-election disputes and, as such, does not fall under its jurisdiction. This ruling underscores the importance of addressing such issues through the appropriate legal channels and in a timely manner.
The PEPT’s decision to dismiss the APM’s suit seeking to disqualify Vice President Kashim Shettima emphasizes the need for parties to adhere to established legal procedures when raising concerns about electoral processes.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, it is crucial that disputes are resolved within the appropriate legal frameworks to uphold the integrity of the democratic process.
