Dino Melaye, on Wednesday, November 20, presented a petition to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja demanding the cancellation of the Kogi West Senatorial District election.
The lawmaker disclosed in a tweet that he presented along with the petition, 21 video clips documenting the reported electoral malpractices that occurred during the poll.
The senator said he was received by the INEC secretary, Rose Orianran-Anthony and the national commissioner Festus Okoye.
"National commissioner of INEC Festus Okoye and Secretary of INEC receiving my petition today with 21 video CD's documentary evidence," he tweeted.
In related news, Dino Melaye vowed to report Governor Yahaya Bello and other politicians in Kogi state to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the alleged violence that occurred during the senatorial and governorship election in the state.
Melaye, who is currently battling to get re-elected in the National Assembly, is trailing his opponent, Smart Adeyemi in the Kogi West Senatorial District rerun poll.
But the lawmaker, in a post on Twitter on Tuesday, November 19, said what occurred in Kogi state was more of a civil war than an election.
Melaye alleged that 16 people have so far been killed in the Kogi election violence. The senator, when citing an instance of irregularity in Okene local government, said the total number of votes INEC allocated to the APC exceeded the number of Voters Registration Cards (PVC) collected.
