The Court of Appeal which sat in Abuja on Thursday, September 14, 2023, has stopped Ndudi Elumelu of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from stepping into the 10th National Assembly.

In a ruling on an appeal filed by the Candidate of the Labour Party, Ngozi Okoli, the Apeallate Court set aside the ruling of the National and State House of Assembly Election Tribunal, in Asaba, Delta State, which sacked Okolie and declared Elumelu winner.

Okolie was declared winner of the February 25 Election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. He was, however, sacked by the Tribunal in favour of Elumelu.

Elumelu was the Minority Leader in the 9th Assembly.
