The National and State House of Assembly Election Petition Tribunal in Benin, Edo State, on Monday affirmed the election of House of Representative member

Peter Akpatason of the All Progressives Congress for the Akoko-Edo federal constituency of Edo State.

The tribunal held that the petitioner failed woefully to prove that the third respondent, namely the Independent National Electoral Commission, unlawfully declared Akpatason the winner of the election. Dissatisfied with the declaration, he approached the tribunal to challenge the return of Akpakpava, primarily on the grounds of non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022.
