BREAKING: Supreme Court nullifies Rivers LG election

The Supreme Court has declared the local government election conducted by the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) on October 5, 2024, invalid

Delivering the judgment, Justice Jamilu Tukur ruled that the election was void due to gross violations of the Electoral Act.

Justice Tukur stated that RSIEC failed to comply with electoral guidelines, particularly by continuing voter registration even after announcing the election date.

The court further held that the processes leading to the election were unlawfully shortened, violating Section 150 of the Electoral Act.
