The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has fixed March 5, for the Abia North senatorial re-run election, ordered by the Court of Appeal which nullified the April 11, 2015 election of Hon. Mao Ohuabunwa of the Peoples Democratic (PDP).
According to the Resident Electoral Commissioner, (REC) Mr. Sylvester Ezeani, the election will take place alongside other seven state constituency seats.
The Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) candidate for the March 2015 senatorial election and former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, had challenged the declaration of Ohuabunwa by INEC as winner of the election, prompting the Court of Appeal to dismiss the election.
