Federal Capital Territory High Court, has declared Senator Andy Ubas participation in the November 6 Anambra governorship election void.
In a judgment on Monday, Justice Inyang Ekwo held that Uba was never a candidate in the election having emerged from an illegally conducted primary election.
Justice Ekwo also declared that APC had no candidate for the election won by the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo
Justice Ekwo added that the plaintiff, George Moghalu, succeeded in proving that the APC did not conduct a valid primary election from which Uba claimed to have emerged as the party’s candidate.
The court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to delete Uba from its record as a candidate in the election and also ordered the APC to refund to Moghalu, the sum of N22.5m which is the amount he paid for expression of interest and nomination forms since the party failed to conduct a valid primary.
