The National Elections Petitions Court in Asaba has upheld the victory of Ben Etanabene of Labour Party for Okpe/Sapele/Uvwie Federal Constituency.

Daily Report Nigeria reports that the tribunal dismissed the cases brought before it by Evelyn Oboro of the Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday.

Oboro had sought the court to disqualify Etanabene over ineligible arguments for an alleged failure to resign from public service before contesting the election.

The former Uvwie Local Government Chairman also raised a petition of alleged over-voting against Etanabene.

He polled 37, 107 votes ahead of Oboro, who came in second place with 29, 917.
