SAN FRANCISCO, December 18, (THEWILL) –Â The Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja, on Monday, declared the seat for the Kogi East Senatorial district vacant.
Two members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Attai Aidoko and Isaac Alfa, are claiming to be the authentic candidate of the party in the July 24, 2017, rerun election which the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) did not participate in.
Justice Abdul Aboki in his ruling on the matter instituted before the appellate court urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a fresh election to fill the vacant seat.
With the ruling, Aidoko who represented the district has been sacked by the court.
