A PDP senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District has been relieved of her duties by an appellate court with a fresh election to be organized.
A Nigerian Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu has quashed the election of Senator Uche Ekwunife of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in response to an appeal filed by Victor Umeh of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
A lead judgement read by Justice Datijo Yahaya stated that the election of Mrs Ekwunife on March 28, 2015, did not meet the prescription of the electoral act.
The judge then ordered that fresh election is held in the Anambra Central Senatorial District within 90 days.
