The Court of Appeal has ordered the acceptance of 37 nominations for the Local Government Elections that had been previously rejected.
The court ordered the relevant returning officers to accept the said rejected nominations.
The order was issued when the Court of Appeal today delivered its verdict regarding the petitions that were filed on the rejection of nominations for the 2025 Local Government Elections.
Petitions were filed by recognized political parties and independent groups challenging the rejection of their nominations on the grounds of not submitting certified copies of birth certificates, not formally submitting an oath, and only submitting photocopies of birth certificates. (Newswire)
