Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu has welcomed the striking out of the purported petition against his election by the Action Alliance (AA) at the National Assembly Elections Petitions Tribunal sitting in Umuahia, the Abia State capital.
Recall that on Tuesday, the tribunal also delivered a remarkable judgement on the petition filed by the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Frank Chinasa in the February 25, 2023 elections for Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State in Kalu’s favour.
