PDP Seeks Court Order to Declare Ned Nwoko’s Seat Vacant, Calls for By-Election Over APC Defection

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the Federal High Court in Abuja to declare the seat currently held by Delta North Senatorial District representative, Ned Nwoko, vacant.

The PDP requested the court to immediately direct the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a by-election to fill the position.

Additionally, the party asked the court to order Nwoko to refund all salaries, allowances, and other emoluments he received as a senator representing Delta North Senatorial District in the National Assembly from the date he defected from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

These demands are contained in an originating summons dated February 27, 2025, filed by the PDP, with Nwoko, the Senate President, and INEC listed as respondents.

The suit was filed on behalf of the PDP by Ayo Asala, SAN.
