The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has once again rejected the petition seeking the recall of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the representative of Kogi Central Senatorial district at the National Assembly. 1 This marks the second time the electoral umpire has dismissed the attempt to remove the suspended senator.

The decision was announced by INEC�s National Commissioner and Chairman of its Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, on Thursday, following the Commission�s regular weekly meeting in Abuja.

This latest rejection signifies a setback for those seeking to remove Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, whose tenure has been marked by controversy and suspension from the Senate. While the specific grounds for the second rejection were not detailed in the provided report, it underscores the stringent criteria and processes INEC follows in handling recall petitions. The development is likely to further fuel political discussions and potentially legal challenges surrounding the representation of Kogi Central Senatorial district.
