The Court of Appeal in Abuja yesterday invalidated the election of Senator Elisha Abbo representing the Adamawa North district.
In the judgment, the court declared the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Amos Yohanna, as the rightful winner of the senatorial election.
Yohanna in a petition filed at the tribunal sitting in Yola, challenged the election of Senator Abbo as the winner of the election, arguing that Abbo was not duly elected by the majority of lawful votes cast during the election.
In his petition marked, EPT/AD/SEN/02/2023, the Kumai had alleged that the election of Abbo alleged that the election was marred by irregularities as well as non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022.
He also that there were cases of over-voting at various polling units, false entries, alteration, and cancellation of votes at several polling units among others.
