Tribunal sacks PDP rep, declares LP’s Chollom winner of Barkin-Ladi/Riyom election

The National Assembly Elections Petition Tribunal in Jos, Plateau State, has delivered a verdict that unseats the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) representative in the Barkin-Ladi/Riyom Federal Constituency seat, declaring the Labour Party candidate, Dalyop Chollom, as the rightful winner.

The tribunal’s decision hinged on its ruling that Peter Gyenden of the PDP had not been validly nominated at the time of his candidacy due to the absence of a valid party structure in the state.

This ruling marks a setback for the PDP and highlights the importance of adhering to the nomination process and maintaining a valid party structure to ensure the legitimacy of candidates in electoral contests.
