The National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal in Enugu has overturned the election of the Labour Party’s nominee, Professor Sunday Nnamchi, to the House of Representatives in Enugu State’s Enugu East/Isi-Uzo Federal Constituency.
The three-member panel of justices led by A. M. Abubakar delivered verdict in the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Prince Cornelius Nnaji, declaring the petitioner as the validly elected candidate in the election held on February 25, 2023.
Prince Nnaji, a one-term federal lawmaker, had challenged the declaration of Nnamchi by the Independent National Electoral Commission as the winner of the election, noting that the respondent was not duly sponsored and qualified to contest under the candidacy of the Labour Party.
In its unanimous decision, the tribunal agreed with the petitioner that the candidate of the Labour Party was not qualified to contest the election.
