*. ‎ INEC says not aware of the court directives
Chuks Okocha in Abuja
Agitations to shift the general elections heightened on Thursday, as one of the political parties, Young Democratic Party (YDP) said that Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should either accommodate the party in the forthcoming general elections or reschedule them.
A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had on Wednesday ordered INEC to issue a certificate and include YDP in the general elections.
But the INEC Director of Voter ‎Education, Osaze Uzzi, and the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Kayode Idowu, declined to comment, stating that apart from what they read from the newspapers, the processes of the court documents are yet to be served to commission.
A national commissioner of INEC who does not want to be quoted said, "We are yet to be served, but mind you, INEC has the right of appeal. We wait until the court processes are served on the commission. Also note that the commission has reached an advanced stage of the preparations for election. The worst case scenario is that the commission will seek for a stay of execution and subsequently appeal the order of the Federal High Court."
Addressing journalists in Abuja on Thursday shortly after its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Barr. Ugo Nwofor described the judgment as victory for democracy, rule of law and triumph over impunity.
Nwofor said that they were ready for 2015 elections, but gave INEC two options, which include the re-printing of its ballot papers to include YDP, so as to accommodate its candidates.
The second option, Barr. Nwofor, said if INEC does not have the appropriate logistics for reprinting of its ballot papers then INEC ought to within the constitutional provision further re-schedule the general elections so as to accommodate our party.”

Anyway hope they have presence in 36states.

INEC should delist them if they fail on this basic requirement.

Why is Jega behaving like a tout or an emperor?

He facilitated the registration of All Progressive Congress (APC) against the first registrant African People's Congress (APC) or so notwithstanding the impending court cases while the same Jega sat on a legitimate application for a new party YDP until it was late to participate in 2015 elections and he then rejected their application on frivolous grounds.

What a chameleonic character.
