The State and National Assembly Elections Petitions Tribunal in Enugu has affirmed the election of Ike Ekweremadu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the February 23 general elections.
Mr Ekweremadu, who represents Enugu West Senatorial District, was the deputy president of the senate until June.
Mr Kereng said allegations of substantial non-compliance to the Electoral Act, thuggery, falsification of figures needed to be proven polling unit by polling unit. “INEC had declared Ekweremadu winner with 86,088 vote against 15,187 scored by Ibekaku-Nwagwu. It is the responsibility of the petitioners to bring their polling unit agents to demonstrate to us how over 70,000 vote will be deducted from the score of the first respondent to make them winners.Mr Kereng said the petitioners ought to have pleaded two sets of results, including the wrong and correct results that would have returned them as winners.
