The national assembly petitions tribunal sitting in Abia state has sacked ORJI UZOR KALU as senator representing Abia north.

KALU, who is currently the senate chief whip, had been elected under the All Progressives Congress.

But the tribunal nullified his election at its sitting, ordering the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct a supplementary election within 90 days.

KALU was declared winner of the election by INEC, which the PDP candidate, MAO OHUABUNWA described as excess electoral fraud and broad daylight robbery.

Although the tribunal upheld OHUABUNWA’s argument that KALU was not duly elected, it ordered a rerun acrossthree local government areas where votes were cancelled during the poll.
