The Court of Appeal in Abuja has sacked Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi West, in Kogi State. The Court affirmed the judgment of the Kogi State National and State Assembly Election Petition Tribunal which earlier nullified his election.
INEC is to conduct fresh elections within 90 days from today. The Kogi State National and State Assembly Election Tribunal sitting in Abuja had earlier sacked the Senator, but he appealed it. The initial judgment was on the petition filed by Smart Adeyemi, the candidate of the #APC in the February 26 election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission says it will explore the possibility of using the November 16 governorship election to conduct a fresh election for the Kogi West Senatorial district.
