The Court of Appeal on Tuesday declared Natasha Akpoti of PDP winner of Kogi Central Senatorial District election.
The court dismissed the appeal filed by Abubakar Ohere for lacking in merit.
The Kogi State Election Petitions Tribunal in September declared Natasha Akpoti-Uduagan of the Peoples Democratic Party as the winner of the Kogi Central Senatorial election held in February.
It also invalidated the victory of Senator Abubakar Ohere of the All Progressives Congress.
The Tribunal Chairman, Justice K. A. Orjiako, delivered the unanimous judgment of the three-man panel, revealing that Sen. Ohere’s results were inflated in nine polling units in the Ajaokuta Local Government Area.
