The Independent National Electoral Commission has expunged the name of the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Ado Doguwa, from the list of elected House of Representatives members.
Recall that INEC had earlier announced Doguwa, a member of the All Progressives Congress, as the winner of the February 25 election in the Doguwa/Tudunwada constituency.
He polled 39,732 votes to defeat the candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Yushau Salisu Abdullahi, who polled 34,798 votes.
However, Doguwa was later arrested for his alleged involvement in the killing of several persons and burning of the Secretariat of New Nigeria People’s Party in the just concluded general election.
A check on the list of elected members released by INEC shows Doguwa’s name was removed.
INEC’s comment on the election result of Doguwa is “declaration made under duress.”
