He claimed that the commission’s decision to prevent him from running in the general elections in August was motivated by bias, ill motive, malice, and bad faith. He stated that any action taken by the IEBC that disqualifies him from running for office is unconstitutional.
Sonko claimed that denying him the right to run is a violation of his fundamental rights because he had already spent a lot of money and invested a lot of time in the campaigns. He also claimed that his supporters would be impacted.
