The Senator representing Abia North, Mao Ohuabunwa, has asked a Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia State, to restrain the Independent National Electoral Commission from recognising a former Governor

of the state, Orji Kalu, as the winner of the February 23 senatorial election in the district.

According to a statement on Wednesday by his campaign organisation, the senator said decision to go to court was taken after the electoral body failed to act on his two petitions dated February 24 and 25, demanding that a run-off be conducted in the senatorial district in accordance with Section 33 Rule 17 E of the commission’s guideline.
