It will be recalled that on September 18 2019, the election petition tribunal sitting in Owerri quashed the election declaring the incumbent Hon. Obinna Onwubuariri of the People's Democratic Party, and ordered that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to conducts a rerun within 90 days. Hon. Onwubuariri who went ahead to appeal the judgement delivered by the tribunal did not secure victory as the court of appeal upheld the decision earlier taken by the election petition tribunal on the stance of gross misconduct, mutilation, & violence.
