The Court of Appeal in Abuja has affirmed the election of Senator Emmanuel Udende as the validly elected Senator for the Benue North-East senatorial district.Consequently, a three-member panel of the appellate Court, led by Justice Abimbola Adejumo, set aside the judgment of the State National Assembly Election Tribunal that nullified his election in favour of former Senator Gabriel Suswam of the Peoples Democratic Party .
It therefore voided the judgement of the tribunal, saying it found merit in the appeal that was lodged before it by the APC candidate. Not satisfied with the outcome of the election, Suswam approached the tribunal on the ground that it was marred by over-voting, irregularities, alterations and falsification of results.In its judgement, the tribunal held that Suswam successfully established his case that irregularities took place in five out of seven LGAs in the Senatorial District.
