The National and House of Assembly Elections Petitions Tribunal sitting in Lafia on Saturday affirmed the election of Mohammed Omadefu (APC-Keana) as a member of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly.
The three-member panel led by Justice Francisca Isong-Nnang dismissed the petition filed by Mr Basil Osheka and his Peoples Democratic Party in affirming his election.
Justice Isong-Nnang said the petitioners failed to convince the tribunal to order a rerun of the election in five polling units of Agaza Ward in the Constituency.
Reacting to the judgment, Omadefu, already the Majority Leader of the House, extended his hands of friendship to Osheka and his supporters to develop Keana Constituency.
