The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance and the party’s candidate for Anambra Central Senatorial District in the 2015 general election, Chief Victor Umeh, has floored Senator Uche Ekwunife at the Court of Appeal.
The Court of Appeal ruled on Monday that a fresh election should be held within 90 days in the senatorial district.
Ekwunife, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, had secured victory at the Anambra State Election Petition tribunal but Umeh had gone ahead to contest the decision at the Court of Appeal.
The Tribunal declared Ekwunife the validly elected representative of the district.
In the lead judgement delivered by Justice Danjo Yahaya, the Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu said the election of Ekwunife did not meet the prescription of the Electoral Act.
