The Kogi State Election Petition Tribunal has sacked Abubakar Ohere as Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial district and declared Natasha Akpoti- Uduagan as the actual winner of the February Senatorial election there.
The Tribunal Chairman, Justice K. A. Orjiako who read the unanimous judgment of the 3-man panel, said Ohere results were inflated in 9 polling units of Ajaokuta LGA while that of Natasha was intentional reduced in 9 of the same polling units by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The judges admitted that three other polling units results were deliberately not entered for Natasha in the same LGA.
The court after making the proper correction, declared Natasha Akpoti- Uduagan (PDP) as winner of the poll having polled 54,074 against Ohere (APC) who polled 51,291.
