A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Solomon Dalung, has cautioned the party against inaugurating caretaker committee members whose appeals are reportedly pending before the Supreme Court.
Dalung, who is the Director of the Mandate Protection Directorate of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, gave the warning in a recent video.
He expressed concern over the party’s reported decision to appoint individuals involved in ongoing legal disputes as chairmen of caretaker committees, despite their appeals still being before the apex court.
According to him, the party appears not to have learnt from the numerous litigations confronting it.
“It seems the party has not learnt any lesson from the plethora of litigations confronting it. The National Secretary, in complete disregard, proceeded to appoint persons who are defending their appeals at the Supreme Court as chairmen of caretaker committees,” he said.
Dalung insisted that he would not support any action by the ADC that could undermine the judicial process.
“I will not stand with the ADC to undermine the judicial process. Therefore, I am sending a word of caution to the party to put on hold the reported inauguration of caretaker committee members whose appeals are pending before the Supreme Court,” he added.
He urged the party leadership to exercise restraint and avoid taking actions that could interfere with ongoing judicial proceedings.
