The commission said this on Thursday in a statement signed by Festus Okoye, its national commissioner and chairman, information and voter education committee. Inyang Ekwo, the judge, held that the 393,042 votes polled by Umahi in the March 2019 governorship election belonged to the PDP and cannot be legally transferred to the APC.The commission, in its statement, said it was briefed by its litigation and prosecution department that in the last three months, it had been joined in 71 new cases in various courts across the country.

It involves Court cases on the defection of the Governor and Deputy-Governor of Ebonyi State and sixteen members of the State House of Assembly from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress .“The Commission has been served with nine separate Orders and Motions from various Courts on this matter.
If Umahi was a PDP Governor, INEC and police would have carried out enforcement immediately. Hopeless country
