The Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Lokoja has ordered a rerun election in Kogi East Senatorial District.
The rerun election, according to the Tribunal, would be between Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho of the All Progressives Congress and Dr. Victor Alewo Adoji of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The ruling by the Tribunal maintained that a rerun election must be conducted in 94 polling units, which collectively account for over 70,000 votes.
The decision was reached after a careful examination of the petition presented by Dr. Adoji, who had raised concerns about irregularities during the initial election.
The rerun election is expected to provide an opportunity for a fair and transparent resolution of the electoral dispute between the two candidates.
