Appeal Court affirms Udende as Benue North East Senator

The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Wednesday upheld the election of Emmanuel Udende of the All Progressives Congress.

The court set aside the decision of the election petition tribunal, which last month sacked Udende.

The three-man justices, however, in its unanimous judgement, said the lower court erred in its verdict and therefore affirmed the election of Udende.

The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Wednesday confirmed the election of Emmanuel Udende of the All Progressives Congress.

The court overturned the electoral petition tribunal’s ruling, which had dismissed Udende earlier this month.

However, the three-member justice panel unanimously declared that the lower court had made a mistake in its decision and upheld Udende’s election.
