The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court has sacked Rep Abubakar Gummi for defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mr Gummi represents the Gummi/Bukkuyum Federal Constituency of Zamfara in the House of Representatives.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu, in a judgment, restrained the speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, from further recognising Mr Gummi as a member representing the Gummi/Bukkuyum Federal Constituency.
Mr Egwuatu also made an order directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a fresh election to fill the vacancy for the constituency within 30 days from the day of the judgment.
The judgment was delivered on Thursday, and the certified true copy was sighted on Friday.
