It was reported that Donald Duke had 812 votes, against Jerry Gana's 611 votes in the primaries. The High Court of the Federal capital Territory, on December 14, 2018, declared Ex-Information Minister, Jerry Gana, winner of the Party's Presidential Primaries instead.
The ruling was on the grounds, that according to the Party's agreement, the National Chairman and the Presidential Flag-bearer are not supposed to hail from the same geo-political zone. A ruling, Duke challenged in Court.
The three-man Panel, led by Justice Abdul Aboki, displaced, the lower court ruling, and declared Duke the winner.
