The National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Jos,on Thursday, affirmed the election of Musa Agah of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the member representing Jos North/ Bassa Federal Constituency in Plateau State.
In a unanimous judgment delivered by tribunal chairman Justice William Olamide, the petition of Gwani Alkali of Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) lacks merit and was subsequently struck out as the petitioner failed in his duty to prove issues of over voting as well as lacking the locus standi to challenge the nomination and sponsorship of Musa Agah of the PDP.
According to the declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Agah polled 87, 609 votes to defeat his closest rival and current member, Gwani Alkali of the PRP who got 67 331 votes while the candidate of the Labour Party, Daniel Asama scored 41, 950 votes..
