Tribunal nullifies election of Bauchi Reps member, Abdulkadir Umar Sarki
Ibrahim Mohammed Baba of the All Progressive Congress, APC had earlier filed a petition challenging the declaration and eligibility of the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP candidate as the winner in the last NASS election.
The three man panel presided by the Chairman, Hon. Justice Bello M. Tukur had in a unanimous judgment on Thursday, 29th of August nullified the election of the honourable member on the grounds that the elections ought to have been declared inconclusive as there were cancellation of results in seven polling units wherein the total registered voters exceed the margin of lead between the candidate returned as elected and the runner up.
The tribunal further ordered a rerun election and withdrawal of the Certificate of Return issued to the member earlier by INEC. When DAILY POST contacted counsel to the Petitioner, Mr. Abdulkarim A. Ibrahim, he expressed satisfaction on the judgment.
