Rep. Nnamchi appeals the tribunal's decision after rejecting it.

Paul Nnamchi, a representative from the House of Representatives belonging to the Liberal Party (LP) in Enugu State, has expressed his disagreement with the ruling of the three-member panel of the National Assembly Election Tribunal that invalidated his election.

On Friday, the panel made the decision to dismiss him from the National Assembly and proclaimed Cornelius Nnaji, the candidate of the People's Democratic Party, as the victor of the election.

The aforementioned remark was issued by Nnamchi, as conveyed by his Media Adviser, Mr. Sam Nwanze, in the immediate aftermath of the verdict.

According to Nnamchi, the judgement does not align with the legal provisions and the anticipated outcome of his numerous followers.

In his statement, he expresses his dissatisfaction with the tribunal's ruling, asserting that it does not align with the legal provisions and the expectations of his numerous followers.

As a result, I have directed my legal representatives to initiate the process of appealing the case to the Appeal Court, which holds ultimate authority in rendering a decision. I maintain a strong belief that justice will be served in our favor at the Appeal Court.

This judgment does not undermine my confidence in the judiciary.

I am optimistic that the principles of justice will be upheld in the subsequent stage of legal proceedings, leading to the reversal of the present verdict by the appellate court.

I would like to use this opportunity to request my numerous followers to maintain composure, as we maintain optimism in our pursuit to regain the electoral mandate through the appellate court.
