The Court of Appeal, Abuja, on Saturday, upheld the victory of the member of the House of Representatives for Sagbama/Ekeremor Federal Constituency in Bayelsa State, Fred Agbedi.
The National and State Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal in Bayelsa State had on September 7 nullified Agbedi’s victory in the February 25 election following a petition filed by his All Progressives Congress (APC) rival, Michael Olomu.
The panel also directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct supplementary elections in several polling units in the Sagbama local government area of the state within 90 days.
