Aftermath

After the election, Edward Nkwegu from the Labour Party challenged the outcome of the election at the Ebonyi State Governorship Elections Petitions Tribunal. The LP candidate told the tribunal to cancel the elections on the ground that the election was marred by irregularities and substantial non compliance with the provisions of the electoral act and some provisions of the Nigerian constitution. Edward Nkwegu also said that the election was marred by corrupt practices and that Dave Umahi did not score majority of the lawful votes cast. The tribunal dismissed the petition for lack of merit and upheld the election of Dave Umahi.[24][25] The case was taken to the Appeal court, sitting in Enugu State. Delivering the judgement, the Appeal court affirmed the election of the PDP candidate, Dave Umahi and dismissed the appeal of the LP candidate for being functionally useless and lacking in merit.[26][27] The case was also taken to Supreme court. On the judgement day, the Supreme court dismissed the petition for lacking merit.[28][29][30]
