Appeal Court Nullifies David Mark’s Election by Nobody: 12:43pm On Nov 28, 2015 |
A Court of Appeal sitting in Makurdi, the
capital of Benue State has nullified the
election of former senate president,
David Mark.
The Makurdi division of the Court of
Appeal on Saturday, ordered a re-run of
the poll within 90 days.
The All Progressives Congress (APC)
senatorial candidate for Benue South, Mr
Donald Onjeh, had challenged the
decision of the National and State
Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal,
which upheld the victory of Senator Mark
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Mr Onjeh’s lawyer, Adetunji Oso, also
urged the Appellate Court to allow his
appeal and set aside the decision of the
Tribunal.
He said the court erred when it held that
the papers tendered by his client were
mere documentary hearsay.
The documents, according to Mr Oso,
demonstrated that while the collation of
results for the Benue South senatorial
district’s election on March 28 was still
ongoing in seven of the nine local
government areas, the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC),
declared Senator Mark winner of the poll. |
