Tribunal upholds PDP senator’s election in Enugu West

The National Assembly Elections Petitions Tribunal sitting in Enugu on Tuesday upheld the victory of Senator Osita Ngwu in the February 25 election held in the Enugu West Senatorial District.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate popularly called RG as the winner of the election ahead of the Labour Party candidate, Chief Oguerinwa Amadi.

Amadi, however, challenged the outcome of the election over alleged fraud and substantial non-compliance with the electoral act by INEC.
