Dan Onjeh, the senate candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just concluded Benue South re-run election has rejected the result announced by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and said he will proceed to the tribunal to challenge David Mark's victory.
Mr Onjeh, on Sunday, said he would seek the nullification of the victory of Senator Mark on the grounds of over voting and ballot box stuffing. He is also raising issues over the 21,000 votes that were cancelled.
He cited the case in Kogi State where the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the governorship election inconclusive on the grounds that the number of cancelled votes far exceeded the margin with which one party was leading.
The APC candidate also alleged that voters were also induced with 1,000 Naira per vote cast in Ado Local Government, thereby compromising the integrity of the poll.
After the election, Senator Mark said the outcome reflected the will of the people.
