Re NDIZEYE

Re NDIZEYE

The appeal was dismissed because the application did not meet the legal threshold for urgency; the applicant had been out of office for over a year, the upcoming elections did not constitute sufficient urgency, and the matter involved factual disputes better suited for ordinary proceedings. The lower court correctly refused to admit the urgent application.
