Children categories
HELD:
"This Court has made the position abundantly clear that it is not within the jurisdiction of the Court to dictate or determine who a political party should sponsor for an election as the issue of nomination and sponsorship of candidates are matters within the domestic affairs of the party.
HELD:
"The Appellant however in a bid to imbue himself with the locus standi of an aspirant also argued that he could be accommodated under Section 152 of the Electoral Act, 2022.
HELD:
"The interesting point made by the Appellant that this Court should depart from its position held in numerous cases on this point is completely unwarranted.
HELD:
"My Lords, we are aware of the plethora or avalanche of authorities by this Court to the effect that an aspirant who did not participate in the primary election of his political party does not have the locus standi to challenge the said primary.
HELD:
"Equally important is the fact that the reliefs sought by the first respondent at the trial Court are declaratory in nature.
HELD:
"On issue two, firstly, may I state that by virtue of Section 133 of the Evidence Act, 2011, the burden of proof in civil proceedings lies on the party who will fail if no evidence is given on either side.
