The Nation Newspaper Appeal Court upholds Orji Kalu’s election
In a unanimous ruling on Monday, November 6, the Appeal Court upheld the judgment of the National Assembly Petitions Tribunal, Umuahia which earlier dismissed the petition of Peoples Democratic Party’s Mao Ohuabunwa and Labour Party’s Nnamdi Iro Orji for lacking merit.
The Appeal Court Justices also faulted the arguments of both petitioners that the election was not held in over 120 polling units mainly in Ohafia and Arochukwu Local Government Areas of the zone. The panel in its ruling held that there is no valid conviction of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu under Section 66 of the Nigerian Constitution as the said conviction had been nullified.
Kalu a two-term senator who currently chairs the Senate committee on privatisation and commercialisation, was declared the winner by INEC in the February 25 Senatorial poll having scored 30,805 votes to defeat Nnamdi who got 27,540 votes.
