Court Of Appeal Affirms Orji Kalu Winner Of Abia North

The Court of Appeal has affirmed Senator Orji Uzor Kalu as the winner of the Abia North Senatorial District seat in the February 25 poll.

The court, presided over by Justice Abiri, upheld the earlier judgment by the Abia State National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal.

The candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Nnamdi Iro Orji, and his Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Senator Mao Ohabunwa, had appealed the Tribunal’s judgment.

But in a unanimous ruling, the panel of justices described the appeal as lacking in merit and maintained that Senator Kalu complied with the provisions of the Electoral Act.

Kalu, a two-time lawmaker, was declared the winner of the February 25 senatorial polls, with 30,805 votes to defeat Nnamdi, who got 27,540 votes, while Mao Ohuabunwa scored 15,175 votes to place third.

Appeal Court Nullifies Victory Of Senate Minority Leader, Orders Rerun

The Court of Appeal, Abuja, has nullified the victory of the Senate Minority Leader, Simon Mwadkwon, representing Plateau North- Senatorial District in the National Assembly.

In a unanimous judgment, the three-member panel led by Justice Daudu Williams held that the PDP did not validly nominate Mwadkwon.

The panel held that it is their view that court orders were not fully complied with by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as 12 Local Government Areas did not participate in the congress.

The court also ordered a rerun for the Plateau North Senatorial seat to be conducted in 90 days.

The court cited non-compliance with a subsisting court order from the Plateau State High Court made in 2020 for the PDP to conduct Congress before nominations as a key factor in their decision.

The panel at the Appellate court led by Justice Okon Abang also nullified the victory of PDP’s Musa Avia representing Bassa North in the House of Representatives.
