Tribunal Annuls Election Of Abia Lawmaker, Emeka Nnamani, Bars APGA From Re-Run

The election of Mr. Emeka Nnamani of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, representing Aba North State Constituency has been nullified by the National and State Assemblies Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Umuahia, the Abia State capital.

The tribunal also barred the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, from contesting in a fresh election it ordered in the constituency.

Delivering judgment in the petition filed by Dr. Blessing Nwagba of PDP challenging the election of Nnamani, the tribunal nullified his election and ordered a fresh election in the constituency on the ground that he is not qualified to contest the election held on April 11,2015, as his name was not in the register of his Eziama Ward of his party, APGA.
