Ndukwe asks Tribunal to declare him winner; Challenges Senator Andy Ubah’s declaration as winner by INEC

The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Anambra South senatorial candidate, Dr. Ernest Ndukwe, has filed a petition at the Elections Tribunal in

Awka, challenging the declaration of the People Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Mr. Andy Uba, as the winner of the election by the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC.

The petition, with suit number EPT/AWKA/S/12/2015, is seeking a declaration that the PDP candidate was not elected by a majority of the lawful votes cast at the March 28 National Assembly voters, and that the PDP candidate at the time of the election was not qualified to contest the said election.

Ndukwe, who expressed firm belief that the tribunal will do justice in the matter, is also praying the tribunal to declare him winner of the election.

He said: “I have no doubt that the Tribunal is made up of a team of tested professionals, who will not only promote the rule of law, but will also seek to advance the frontiers of good democratic processes in Nigeria. Hence, my complete trust and belief that my mandate will be returned as expressly and as timely as possible.”
