Nullify 2023 Governorship Election – LP Tells Kaduna Tribunal

Jonathan Asake, the Labour Party’s candidate for governor in the election scheduled for March 18, 2023, requested on Tuesday that the Kaduna State governorship election be declared invalid.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced Uba Sani of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as the election’s winner.

However, the Labour Party’s candidate for governor asserted that there were anomalies in the election and that it did not follow the electoral act.

Ejembi in an interview with newsmen at the end of the tribunal’s sitting on Wednesday said the governorship candidate and the Labour Party, in the petition, with Ref. No. EPT/KD/Gov/2/2023, before the Governorship tribunal “is asking for the nullification of the 18th March 2023 governorship election, in Kaduna State”.
