The National Assembly Election
Petitions Tribunal for Anambra State has declared Tony Nwoye of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), winner of House of Representatives election for Anambra
East and West constituency.
He had challenged the victory of
Peter Madubueze of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
A judgement delivered by Justice
Nayai Aganaba in Awka on Monday stated that Nwoye was the duly elected
candidate according to the electoral laws.
Nwoye had approached the tribunal
asking it to set aside the election of the APGA candidate.
He argued that the elections had
been rigged in several polling units in his strongholds at Nsugbe Ward I and ll
in Anambra East local government area.
The tribunal agreed and declared
him winner by awarding him 3,003 votes from Nsugbe “Ward l” that was initially
denied him during the April 11 polls.
