Tribunal Sacks Edo PDP Rep, Declares APC Candidate As Winner

The election of Destiny Enabulele, the House of Assembly member representing Ovia South West constituency under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been nullified by the Election Petition Tribunal in Benin, Edo State.

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sunday Aghedo, had approached the court to challenge the declaration of Enabulele as the winner of the election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The Tribunal ruled on Friday, that the election was filled with irregularities and malpractices.

The Tribunal added that the evidence presented by Aghedo and the APC was more credible and, hence, declared the APC candidate as the rightful winner of the election held on 15 March 2023.
