Appeal Court Sacks Another Senator, Declares PDP Candidate Winner
…..The Court of Appeal has declared Austin Akobundu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the rightful winner of the Abia Central Senatorial District election.
Akobundu defeated the Senate Minority Whip, Darlington Nwokocha of the Labour Party, who was earlier declared the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Nwokocha got 92,116 votes while Akobundu came second with 41,477 votes.
Akobundu is a former Minister of State for Defence and a former National Organizing Secretary of the PDP. Dissatisfied, Akobundu filed a petition before the election petition tribunal to upturn Nwokocha’s election.
……His appeal was rejected by the tribunal in September.
….He appealed the decision, and on Saturday, he was declared the winner of the Abia central senatorial district election
