The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has sworn in Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, as Senator representing Kogi Central.
Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan‘s election was initially confirmed by the Kogi National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal and subsequently upheld by the Appeal Court.
Her opponent, Abubakar Ohere of the All Progressives Congress, APC, challenged her electoral victory in the lower court but was unsuccessful in his efforts.
However, the appellate court, in its ruling, upheld the earlier judgment of the Tribunal, which declared the PDP candidate as the authentic senator of Kogi Central with lawful votes of 54,354 while Ohere APC scored 51,291 votes.
She was administered the oath by the Clerk of the Senate at exactly 11:41 am.
