AHEAD of the September 21 governorship election, the running mate to Olumide Akpata who is the candidate of the Labour Party has been replaced by Prince Kadiri Asamah .
Meanwhile, a governorship aspirant of the party, Kenneth Imansuangbon has asked the court to prevent Akpata from parading himself as the candidate of the party and to this effect, he has filed two suits at the Federal High Court in Benin City and Abuja Imansuangbon wanted the votes garnered by the first defendant in the primary be declared invalid and wasted.
He also asked the court to determine if the votes garnered in the purported primary should not be voided and wasted in the face of outright disregard to the constitutional provisions of the country and that of the party.Similarly, Imansuangbon asked the court to determine if he that scored the second highest votes in the said primary should not be declared the winner and validly nominated to be the governorship candidate of the LP.
In his declaration, the plaintiff told the court to bar the INEC or any other agent from recognizing Akpata as the governorship candidate of the LP for the September 21 Edo governorship poll.
