Breaking News: Appeal Court Strikes Out Onjeh's Petition
The Court of Appeal has struck out the petition filed by Mark Onjeh, a candidate in the 2019 Bayelsa Central Senatorial election, against the election of Senator Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo.
Onjeh had approached the court, seeking to nullify the election of Degi-Eremienyo, citing alleged irregularities and non-compliance with the Electoral Act. However, the Appeal Court, in a unanimous decision, dismissed the petition, upholding the earlier judgment of the Federal High Court.
The court held that Onjeh failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove his claims of electoral malpractices and irregularities. The judges also ruled that the petition was statute-barred, as it was filed outside the 14-day window allowed by law.
This development means that Senator Degi-Eremienyo's victory in the 2019 election remains valid, and he will continue to represent Bayelsa Central in the National Assembly.
