The Court of Appeal sitting in Makurdi, Benue State, has sacked former Senate President, David Mark from the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, declaring his election a nullity.

The APC senatorial candidate, Donald Onjeh's case against Mark's election was upheld by the court. The court therefore ordered INEC to conduct a re-run election for the senatorial district within 90 days.
