Tribunal Decides Gbajabiamila’s Fate Next Month by sultan457: 5:36am On Aug 28, 2015 |
Lagos—The National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal
sitting in Ikeja, will on September 29, 2015 give
judgment in a petition filed by the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, candidate in Surulere Federal Constituency I
of Lagos State, Mr. Tony Ashikodi, challenging the
declaration of the House of Representatives Majority
leader Olufemi Gbajabiamila of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, as the winner of the March 28, 2015 poll.
The three-man panel, lead by Justice C.U Anwuka fixed
the date after listening to the submission and adopting
the final written address by parties counsels.
Ashokodi, through his lawyer Mr. Kalu Onuah, is
challenging the victory of Gbajabiamila and alleged
irregularities during the election, which he said, breached
the provisions of Independent National Electoral
Commission’s, INEC, approved guidelines for the polls.
At the resumed hearing of the matter yesterday, the
petitioner’s counsel submitted that Gbajabiamila was
not duly elected or returned by the majority of lawful
votes cast at the election.
He urged the court to void the election by reason of
manifest breach and violation of the Electoral Act 2015
Election Guidelines, adding that a fresh election should
be ordered and to be conducted by the INEC for the
constituency.
The petitioner had alleged irregularities in the conduct of
the election, stating that “the final figures in the tally of
results the Form EC 8C(i) were cancelled and altered with
a view of declaring Gbajabiamila the winner of the
election.
He also said the 14,351 received by the APC candidate
was whimsically changed to 21,715 while 16,079 earlier
recorded for petitioner was changed to 14,550.” cc: www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/tribunal-decides-gbajabiamilas-fate-next-month/ |
