Appeal court upholds David Umahi’s senatorial candidacy
On Friday, the Court of Appeal in Abuja dismissed Ann Nwanyibuife Agom-appeal Eze's and approved Governor David Umahi's candidacy for the Senate.

The Federal High Court's decision and all of its orders were overturned by the Court of Appeal.

It further ruled that the nomination of Governor Umahi as the APC senatorial candidate was never contested by anyone within the allotted 14-day period as required by section 285(9) of the 1999 Constitution, meaning that the High Court erred in upholding Ann's Counter-affidavit and failing to uphold the primary election of June 9, 2022, in which Governor Umahi was nominated.

All of the reliefs requested by Governor Umahi and the APC in the trial court were ultimately granted by the appellate court.
