BREAKING: Tribunal affirms Umahi’s election
The Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state capital on Monday upheld the election of Governor David Umahi even as it struck out the suit filed by the People’s Democratic Movement against the election.
But the Peoples Democratic Movement and its candidate in the election Ajah Agha petitioned the Tribunal for what he termed unlawful exclusion of his name in INEC ballot paper. The Tribunal also said that there was no evidence before it to show that the party submitted the name of their candidate to INEC before the deadline stipulated by INEC for parties to do so.“Also your party did not organize primaries as to produce a candidate according to INECs guideline, therefore your petition lacks merit, the Tribunal said.
He noted that the tribunal’s judgement which affirmed the victory of Ebonyi state Governor was a true reflection of the wishes of Ebonyi people which they demonstrated on the March 9, 2019 Governorship poll.
