Natasha Akpoti.

As post election litigation continues to settle ambiguous election results as approved by the law, The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, has affirmed the election of Natasha Akpoti-Uduagan as the senator for Kogi Central Senatorial District.



The court dismissed the appeal filed by Abubakar Ohere of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for lacking in merit.

In a judgment delivered on Tuesday, the panel of the Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the Kogi State Election Petition Tribunal, which had earlier nullified Ohere’s victory and declared Akpoti-Uduagan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the February senatorial election.
