A Court of Appeal, sitting in Makurdi, Benue State, has
nullified the election of former senate president, David Mark. The court
faulted the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission to
declare Mark, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, winner of the
March 28 senatorial election in Benue south.
A rerun of the poll must be conducted within 90 days, the
court ruled.
Mark’s purported victory was challenged by the candidate of
the All Progressives Congress, Donald Onjeh. Yet another one.
