We Will Continue To Recognize Sowore As AAC Chairman - INEC Declares

 

 

The Independent National Electoral Commission has recognised Omoyele Sowore as the substantive National Chairman of the African Action Congress, SaharaReporters reports.

 

The National Executive Committee of the party, on May 13, had written to INEC to suspend Sowore and eight others over alleged anti-party activities.

 

INEC, in a letter by its Secretary, Mrs Rose Oriaran-Anthony, dated May 14, however, said, after reviewing the request, it had found that the requirements for the commission to recognise the meeting where the AAC NEC took the decision had not been met.

 

The letter read in part, “The commission, after reviewing the content of the letter, has established the following: There is no documentary evidence that a meeting of the AAC NEC was convened by the National Chairman as required by Chapter 9 Section 59(a) of the constitution of the AAC.
