The Supreme Court has struck out a suit instituted against the Peoples Democratic Party PDP to compel it to zone its presidential ticket to the South-East.
The court on Friday in a unanimous judgment delivered by Justice Adamu Jauro struck out the suit on the ground it lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit.
A presidential aspirant of PDP and former Deputy Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, Hon Cosmos Ndukwe instituted the suit against his party praying for an order to compel it to uphold the zoning and rotational policy of the party.
Specifically, the aspirant sought for order of the court to compel PDP to zone the nomination of its presidential candidate to the South East geo-political zone of the country.
However, Justice Jauro held that the suit was not justiciable on the ground that the nomination of candidates for election is an internal affair of political parties.
