The National Assembly Appeal Court sitting in Lagos has reserved judgment in two separate appeals, filed by Mrs Stella Oduah, and her party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenging the victory of Tony Nwoye of Labour Party (LP) in the February 25, Anambra North Senatorial District election.
The three-member panel of justices adjourned for judgment after taking arguments from all counsel in the proceedings.
The National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal in Awka, Anambra State, had in its judgement delivered on September 6 dismissed the petition of Stella Oduah for lacking in merit.
Dissatisfied, Oduah and the PDP challenged Nwoye’s election as a senator representing Anambra North District.
Nwoye had polled 94,779 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Oduah of the PDP, who scored 50,146 votes, according to the result of the election declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
