The National and State Houses of Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Umuahia on Wednesday dismissed the petition against the Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe, challenging his re-election as a senator for Abia South.
He urged the tribunal to declare him the winner or order a rerun in some polling units over allegation of invalid accreditation and over-voting.Delivering the judgement, a member of the three-member panel, Justice Wasiu Animahun faulted the decision of the petitioners to rely on card reader accreditation.
The panel held that if the number of votes from over-voting claimed by the petitioners was removed from the figure with which Abaribe was declared winner, he would still maintain a reasonable margin of lead over the petitioners. It awarded N500, 000 costs against the petitioners in favour of the second and third, PDP, respondents.
