The election of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member Timothy Dantong to represent the Riyom constituency in the Plateau State House of Assembly was overturned by the National and State Houses of Assembly electoral Tribunal sitting in Plateau State.
Moses Dachum, a candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), was deemed the winner of the election by the court.
The Tribunal, presided over by Justice B.M. Tukur, ruled that PDP lacked a legally sound system to nominate a candidate for the election.
According to the court, the defendant has refused to comply with a November 26, 2020 order from Justice S P Gang of the Plateau State High Court.
