Following the controversy surrounding the section 84 (12) of the amended electoral act, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has barred political appointees in the party from voting at Saturday’s convention.
The party made this know on Thursday in a statement.
The statement reads, “the National Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee has declared that all political appointees who were elected has delegates to the National Convention slated for 26/3/2022 shall not vote.”
“The political appointees can however come as observers to the convention,” the statement added.
The restriction comes as a preventive measure as parties contend about the controversial section of the electoral act.
The National Assembly on Wednesday vowed to file an appeal to challenge and order of the Umuahia Division of the Federal High Court which directed the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami to delete the controversial section from the electoral act.
The National Assembly subsequently directed a state of action on the matter pending when all appeal processes is over.
