The National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, has dismissed a petition challenging the election of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chief Benjamin Kalu, for lacking in merit.


While delivering judgement on the matter on Tuesday, the three-man panel led by Justice Sampson Gane, ruled that it was the right of the first respondent to change his name as no person or group of persons has the monopoly of any name.


He ruled that Kalu equally harmonized the names in his certificate with a deed poll which was published in the Federal Government’s official gazette.


The judge ruled that the onus of proofs was on the petitioner to prove that the certificates the respondent submitted to INEC did not belong to him, but he abandoned his case for the respondent to prove.


The petition was dismissed for lacking in merit and ordered the parties to bear their administrative cost.
