The electoral victory of Governor Udom Emmanuel of the Peoples Democratic Party has been held inconclusive by the Akwa Ibom Election petition tribunal.

Umana Umana of the All Progressives Congress had challenged Udom’s victory at the state governorship election tribunal.

While issuing judgment on Wednesday, the tribunal held that it was not satisfied that election held in all the polling units in the state, but further ruled that the petitioners were unable to demonstrate that card reader alone can be relied upon for accreditation.

Consequently, the tribunal resolved that Governor Udom scored the highest number of valid votes cast.

The tribunal also ruled that the experts called by the petitioners are not experts as they denied being so, therefore, they cannot express opinion as ordinary witnesses as the Evidence Act does not allow such.

According to the Evidence Act, only expert opinions are admissible.

The tribunal would also hold that voters were disenfranchised in some polling units and that elections were inconclusive in Uyo and Ibesikpo Asutan Local government areas.

The tribunal also held that some local government areas did not comply with the provisions of the law.

It held that 566,436 voters were disenfranchised as against the 890,000 voters in favour of Udom in 18 LGAs.

In its verdict, the tribunal ordered INEC to conduct fresh elections in 18 LGAs in the state.

Hence, there will be a re-run election in 18 out of 31 LGAs of Akwa Ibom state, as election only held in 13 LGAs.

K

APC will still lose.

Booooom........Wike you're next.

Hehehe

The whole of 18 LGA or some pooling units in those lgs?

GBESE!

before PDP or APC roll out the drums in celebration, it's pertinent to find out what the distribution of valid votes look like

what was the total no of valid votes cast in the 13lga where the tribunal determined that elections took place?

How many for PDP and how many for APC?

That's what folks should determine instead of these premature celebrations from both camps

Wike is already shitting his pants....LOL....

This is serious, pdp how market

Repeat the election 10times in all the 31 local govt areas, PDP will still win without campaigning!

In your dreams....without campaigning LOL

is the governor going to remain in the seat while the election will be held?

APC is only building its castle in the air.


PDP runs in the blood of Akwa Ibom people. Let them take the election to the moon and conduct it there, PDP will still come out with a land slide margin.

Umana will only be shocked by the level of humiliation he's going to suffer this time.

His antecedents haunts him badly.
