The Abia State and National Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Umuahia has upheld the election of a senator representing Abia North Senatorial Zone, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu.
Delivering the judgement on two separate petitions filed by Sen. Mao Ohuabunwa of PDP and Nnamdi Iro Orji of Labour Party, the Tribunal determined that the point of non-compliance with the provision Acts, 2022 as well as non-qualification of the candidate for the said election were proved frivolous and unfounded.
The unanimous judgement presided over by the chairman, Hon. Justice Sampson Gang held that the documentary evidence before the Tribunal shows that the counsel to the Petitioners could not prove their claims beyond reasonable doubt and consequently dismissed the petitions.
