Judge Abubakar Talba on Tuesday threw out an injunction that halted the party from holding the meeting following a lawsuit filed by 19 prominent members recently suspended by its leadership. The court ruling orders the People's Democratic Party not to discuss the members' suspensions.
The meeting comes amid tension over who will serve as the party's candidate in the upcoming 2011 election.
