Tribunal rules in suit against Orji Kalu
The petitioner, Anagha Anagha, the candidate of All Grassroots Alliance had filed the petition on grounds that he was unlawfully excluded from the February 23 Abia North Senatorial election.
Delivering a unanimous judgment, Justice Cornelius Akintayo, the Chairman of the three-member panel, held that the first petitioner, Anagha has failed to prove his allegation of exclusion by the first respondent, the Independent National Electoral Commission . He held that the first petitioner, having not been a candidate of any party, lacked legal standing to present his case before the tribunal, and therefore dismissed his petition.
