Kogi West: Tribunal Upholds Smart Adeyemi's Election
The Kogi State National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal on Wednesday upheld the election of Senator Smart Adeyemi as the senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District.
The tribunal had in March reserved judgment on the petition filed by Melaye challenging the emergence of Senator Adeyemi as winner of the Kogi West Senatorial rerun election. Meanwhile, Melaye in the petition claimed that the November 16 senatorial rerun election was marred by violence, over-voting, manipulation of figures and other irregularities and called for the total cancellation of the affected areas and thereby declare him the winner of the election.
According to the panel, the evidence of witnesses called by the petitioners were contradictory and as such unreliable.
