Appeal Court Declares Tinubu’s Minister Winner of Senatorial Seat

 

 

The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja has upheld the judgment of the tribunal which declared the Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong winner of the Plateau South Senatorial election.

 

The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Napoleon Bali of the Peoples Democratic Party winner of the election with 148,844 votes, while Lalong scored 91, 674 to come second in the February 25 elections.

 

But Lalong asked the tribunal to nullify Bali’s election on the grounds that the PDP did not have a proper party structure and, therefore, could not file candidates for the elections.

 

The Appeal court on Tuesday agreed with the judgement of the tribunal and affirmed that PDP had no candidate in the February 25 senatorial election in Plateau South.
