The tribunal voided Okolie of Labour Party's election yesterday on the grounds that he had not been a member of the Labour Party by May 28, 2022, the date of the primary election, and therefore was not properly sponsored by the party.
The tribunal however, declared the runner-up in the February 25, 2023 National Assembly election, Ndudi Elumelu from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as the winner.
