JUST IN: Appeal Court reverses Elumelu’s victory at Tribunal in battle for House of Reps seat

A Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has overruled the judgment of the National and State Houses of Assembly Election Tribunal in Asaba which declared Ndudi Elumelu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as winner of the February 25 House of Representatives election for Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency of Delta State.

The appellate court in two judgments on Thursday declared Labour Party’s Ngozi Okolie as the winner of the election.

It dismissed the grounds on which the tribunal voided Okolie’s election.
