IEBC Chairperson nominee Erastus Edung Ethekon has urged the High Court to dismiss a petition challenging his appointment, alongside six other commissioners.

Through his lawyer, Issa Mansur, Ethekon told a three-judge bench, comprising Justices Roselyne Aburili, John Chigiti, and Bahati Mwamuye that the selection panel and the National Assembly adhered to constitutional and legal processes in their nomination and vetting.
