FCT election conducted under unknown law – Kenneth Okonkwo
AI Summary
Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said the recent Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council elections were conducted under an unknown law. He claimed the gazetted copy of the Electoral Act 2026 has not been released and accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of intentionally withholding information. Okonkwo argued that conducting elections without a publicly published law violates the rule of law. The APC won five of the six Area Councils, and Okonkwo’s statements suggest potential legal challenges or calls for greater transparency. The issue may lead to further scrutiny of the electoral process in the FCT.
