The Governor of Ebonyi state, David Umahi, has been affirmed by the Supreme Court as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Ebonyi South senatorial district.
A five-member panel led by Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, in a unanimous judgment on Friday, dismissed the appeal filed by Ann Agom-Eze, an aspirant for the senatorial seat.
Agom-Eze had challenged Umahi’s election as the APC candidate for the senatorial district.
On July 22, a federal high court in Abakaliki dismissed a suit filed by Umahi asking the court to recognise him as the APC candidate for the senatorial district.
The court subsequently ordered that a fresh primary be conducted within 14 days.
