The National Assembly Elections Petition Tribunal in Umuahia has rejected the petition put forth by the Labour Party candidate, Chief Frank Chinasa.
Chinasa had aimed to invalidate the election victory of Hon. Benjamin Kalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and the representative for the Bende federal constituency.
The tribunal, consisting of three members, issued a unanimous decision, with Justice Samson Paul Gang, the Chairman, reading the judgment, stating that the petition lacked merit and was therefore dismissed.
