APPEAL COURT AFFIRMS KADUNA LAWMAKER’S ELECTION
The Court of Appeal in Abuja has affirmed Daniel Amos’ election as the member representing the Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency in the National Assembly.
This affirmation comes after the petitions challenging his victory in the February 25 election were dismissed.
The three-member panel unanimously decided that the appeal made before it by the All Progressive Congress candidate, Mr. Usman Anto, against the lawmaker lacked merit.
Mr. Daniel Amos was named the winner of the National Assembly elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Dissatisfied with the declaration, Usman and the APC challenged Mr. Amos’ election and petitioned the state’s election tribunal.
The Kaduna State National and State Election Petitions Tribunal dismissed the petition for lack of merit.
