The National and State Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Makurdi on Thursday upheld the election of the Deputy Speaker of Benue State House of Assembly, Mrs. Danladi Lami.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Lami of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the March 18 election held in Ado State Constituency ahead of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Mrs. Agnes Uloko.
Uloko, however, challenged the outcome of the election on the grounds that the APC candidate was not qualified to take part in the exercise.
