INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this at a capacity Building Workshop for Justices and Judges on Election Matters, held at the National Judicial Institute in Abuja yesterday. He said the Commission had been joined in about 600 cases relating to the conduct of recent primaries and nomination of candidates by political parties for the 2023 general election.
