Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu's Victory Upheld by Tribunal

9. 
   The National Assembly Elections Petition Tribunal upheld the electoral victory of Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu.
   

The three-judge panel dismissed the petition brought by the Labour Party's candidate, Frank Chinasa, who sought to nullify Kalu's election.

The ruling emphasized Kalu's right to change his name, and the tribunal noted that Kalu's actions followed legal procedures. This reaffirmed Kalu's position representing Bende federal constituency.
