Plateau: Jonah Jang's Senatorial Election

Might be Nullified

The senatorial election of former Jos governor

Jonah Jang is in jeopardy of being nullified as

the National Assembly Election Petition

Tribunal on Friday, admitted evidence against

the election.

Jang was elected to represent Plateau North

Senatorial District in the May 28 National

Assembly election on the platform of the

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

However, Mrs Ayisa Sambo of the All

Progressives Congress (APC) filed a petition

against his victory, following alleged

malpractices and fraud.

Her counsel had presented voters registration

and some statements of results from polling

units as evidence to back up his client’s

allegations.

The two certified copies of documents were

tendered alongside other three witnesses who

testified.

Jang's counsel raised objection to the

admissibility of the documents as evidence to

be considered, adding that the documents

were not obtained from the right sources.

However, Justice O.O. Akeredolu, the

Chairman of the Tribunal, said the motion

against the admission of evidence brought by

the petition was over ruled and adjourned

until June 30.
