Enugu Guber: Appeal Court upholds Peter Mbah’s Election

The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos has upheld the election of Peter Mbah as the duly elected Governor of Enugu state.

The ruling was delivered in an appeal filed by Chijoke Edeoga, candidate of the Labour Party (LP), in the March 18 gubernatorial election in Enugu State.

Edeoga had approached the appellate court to challenge the September 9, 2023 judgement of Justice K.M. Akano-led Enugu Election Petition Tribunal, which upheld the election of Mbah in the March 18th Governorship election.

In a judgement of the appellate court on Friday, a three-member panel of Justices dismissed the appeal filed by Edeoga as lacking in merit.

The court upheld the election of Peter Mbah in the March 18 gubernatorial election in Enugu State.
