Mark wins as Daniel Onjeh seeks the tribunal

By -
Following his win back to the senate house at the just concluded benue south senetorial re-run elections, major opposition candidate Mr Daniel Onjeh of the All Progressive Congress APC has indicated his interest to seek the help of tribunal in what he has described  as a "Flawed Process".

Mr Onjeh has challenged the Feb. 20th 2016 re-run of the benue south senetorial poll contest that eventually saw Sen. David mark as winner of the keenly contested position. 

According to Onjeh, he cited the case of the recently conducted kogi state election where the electoral umpire INEC declared the governor ship election inconclusive on the grounds that the number of cancelled votes far exceeds the margin in which one party was leading. 

The APC candidate who apart from his claims of a fraudulent  process as witnessed, is also alleging a case of voters inducement during the process. Mr Onjeh indicated that voters were given tips in some local government areas which according to him compromised the integrity of their conscience. 

Similarly, winner of the election Sen. David Mark has praised the process, calling her victory at the polls "a reflection of the will of the people" .

Sen. Mark has been in the senate since 1999, rose to becoming the senate president from 2007-2015. 

His victory at the March 2015 senetorial poll was subsequently annulled by a court of competent jurisdiction which sacked him from office and as such ordered for a re-run election which he had won again. 

Mark who is candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) pulled a total votes of 84,192 while Daniel Onjeh of the APC scored a total of 74, 621 to emerge the first runner up who definitely goes home empty.

In a seemingly controversial manner, Uk defence secretary Michael  Fallon gave in to instinct after a supposed behaviour which according to prove unethical to standard both in character and service. Secretary Falon who graciously tendered his resignation following a supposed sexual misconduct, hinted it was the right thing resigning. According to Fallon in a recorded video clip, his actions weren't in conformity to the standard which dignifies the office to which he occupies, and as such couldn't do better than to resign. In a letter to the Prime Minister, Sir Michael said: "A number of allegations have surfaced about MPs in recent days, including some about my previous conduct". Fallon admitted his past conduct may have been inappropriate as such tendencies aren't befitting enough to stay on the job if her noble virtue must be held sacrosanct.

For many bookmakers, it was going to be a landslide for Prime Minister Theresa May as the election draws close with so much anticipation already in the air. In a similar fashion, both political analyst and UK social commentators have predicted a massive moon slide for the chief occupant of the Great Number 10. Seemingly, While the above bask in a cuspidal political fashion, the European community wasn't left out in the dissection as they watched closely with tight-fisted arms. For the records, Brexit means Brexit.     Nobody gave Jeremy Corbyn a chance as all eyes became fixated on Prime Minister May, in whose decision brought about the now anticipated snap election.
