The National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Enugu has sacked Sunday Umeha of the Labour Party (LP), representing Udi/Ezeagu Federal Constituency of Enugu State.
The panel, led by Justice A.M. Abubakar, on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, declared Dr Festus Uzor of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the February 25 election.
Justice Abubakar, while ruling on the petition filed by Uzor, declared that Umeha did not properly resign from PDP before picking the LP’s ticket.

The tribunal also held that the purported resignation letter tendered by Umeha was signed by someone who was no longer a leader of PDP.
It, thereafter, directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a fresh certificate of return to Uzor as the duly elected representative of the constituency.
