Wakili Kabiru-Muhammad, the New Nigeria Peoples Party's nominee for senator in Nasarawa West in the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections, has taken the Independent National Electoral Commission to the Election Tribunal over the purported omission of the party's logo.
Kabiru-Muhammad told reporters soon after submitting his petition on Saturday in Lafia that INEC had failed to accurately capture his party's logo on the ballot papers.
The first and second respondents in the case are INEC and Ahmed Aliyu-Wadada of the Social Democratic Party, who was declared the election's winner.
He claimed that INEC's absence did not adhere to the 1999 Constitution's and the Electoral Act of 2022's requirements.
Therefore, he has called on the tribunal to cancel the already conducted election and declare it null.
The petitioner claimed that there were numerous irregularities during the polls, so he went to the tribunal to seek redress.
He gave his followers the go-ahead to maintain peace and follow the law while they awaited the tribunal's decision.
Shehu Tukur, a candidate for the All Progressive Congress, got 47, 717 votes as opposed to Aliyu-Wadada of the SDP, who received 96,488 votes.
