Election tribunal dismisses APC petition against PDP candidate in Ebonyi
ves Congress candidate for Abakaliki/Izzi Federal Constituency in the 2019 general elections, Mr. Uchenna Nshi, challenging the victory of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Hon. Sylvester Ogbaga.
But, in a judgement delivered by the three-man panel chaired by Justice Sika Henry Aprioku, the tribunal held that the petition lacked merit as the petitioner failed to bring preponderance of evidence to prove his case. The tribunal said the petitioner dealt a heavy blow on his petition for failing to call any witness who was present at any of the polling units where he alleged malpractices and violence during the election, adding that the testimonies of the witnesses of the Petitioner who were not present in any of the polling units in contention amounted to falsehood.
