The National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in APO High Court has upheld the election of Senator George Thompson Sekibo of the Rivers West Senatorial District.
Justice Muazu Pindiga who presided over the panel that gave the judgement stated that the petitioner Chief Hon.Andrew Uchendu failed to convince the Tribunal that the National Assembly Election which took place on March 28th 2015 at the Rivers East Senatorial District was fraudulent nor marred by violence.
Andrew Uchendu of the APC has approached the Rivers State National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal seeking for a total nullification of the March 28th Senatorial Election,which brought George Sekibo as the winner.
NOTE: THE ELECTION WAS UPHELD BECAUSE THE PETITIONER FAILED TO NOTIFY INEC WITHIN THE 21DAYS AS STIPULATED IN THE ELECTORAL ACT
