Court of Appeal in Abuja has affirmed Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as Kogi Central Senatorial Candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The appellate Court on Thursday dismissed the appeal filed against Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Justice Gafai upheld the argument of J.J. Usman (SAN) on behalf of Natasha.
He held that the Deponents of the affidavits in support of the originating summons who were not delegates could not challenge the delegate election.
The Court further held that the handwritten purported delegate list by the appellant lacked evidential value.
Relying on the certified true copies of the delegate election results and the primary election tendered by Akpoti-Uduaghan, the court held that the election of Akpoti-Uduaghan was upheld.
It said the appeal lacked merit and was dismissed.
