The Kogi state national assembly/state assembly election has sacked Dino Melaye as the senator representing Kogi west senatorial district.
In a judgement delivered on Friday, the tribunal ordered a fresh election in the district.
Melaye (PDP) was declared winner in the February election by INEC, but Senator Smart Adeyemi (APC) approached the tribunal, challenging INEC’s declaration citing, irregularities, over voting and non compliance with the electoral acts.
The three man panel led by Justice A. O. Chijioke in a unanimous judgment on Friday accepted Adeyemi’s ground and order for reelection into the senatorial axis.
