The National and State Houses of Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Benin on Friday upheld the victory of the senator representing Edo South, Neda Imasuen, in the February 25 election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the Labour Party candidate as the winner of the election ahead of his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Matthew Iduoriyekemwen.
However, Iduoriyekemwen and his party approached the tribunal to nullify Imaseun’s victory on five grounds.
