Senator Smart Adeyemi has dragged the Kogi West Senator-elect, Dino Melaye before the National Assembly Petitions Tribunal sitting in Lokoja, the state capital. Adeyemi in his petition alleged irregularities in the conduct of the election as well as the result declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on March 28, 2015.




In the petition filed by his counsel, Mr J.O. Olatoke, SAN, Adeyemi said that Melaye was not duly elected or returned by the majority of the lawful votes cast during the election adding that he (Adeyemi) should be declared the winner.


The petitioner said he scored the majority of lawful votes cast during the election and ought to have been declared the winner.


Adeyemi asked the tribunal to order INEC to conduct a fresh election into the Kogi West Senatorial District on the basis of alleged irregularities.


It wil be recalled that INEC declared Adeyemi, who contested on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, second with 38,148 votes as against Melaye of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who scored 41,120.
