The bye-election petition tribunal sitting in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State has nullified the election of Engr Simon Atigwe, the House of Representatives member representing Igboeze North/Udenu Federal Constituency.
9News Nigeria reports that the tribunal declared Hon Dennis Agbo, the candidate of the Labour Party, the rightful winner of the rerun election held on February 3rd, 2024.
This decision comes after Agbo initially won the seat during the 2023 general election, only to have his victory annulled by the Court of Appeal, which ordered a rerun in ten polling units.
The petition that led to Agbo’s initial sack was filed by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who argued that the result sheets from the affected units did not include the scores of the APC.
Agbo led the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate by over 10,000 votes before the court ordered the rerun.
