An Appeal Court sitting in Akure, the Ondo State capital, yesterday said the election petition tribunal was right to have upheld the elections of five Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members in the House of Assembly.
The court, led by Justice Nwosu Ihene, dismissed the cases by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates on the grounds that they lacked merit.
The victorious candidates are Deputy Speaker Fatai Olotu (Akoko North East); Kemisola Adesanya (Akure South I); Malachi Coker (Ilaje I); Abayomi Akinruntan (Ilaje II) and Tuyi Akintimehin (Idanre).
