Delta Assembly Vacates Udu Lawmaker’s Seat After APC-to-NDC Defection

The Delta State House of Assembly has declared the Udu State Constituency seat vacant after Hon. Collins Egbetamah resigned from the APC and joined the NDC. The decision followed a unanimous motion citing Section 109(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution, which stipulates that a legislator who defects forfeits their seat. Speaker Emomotimi Guwor directed the Clerk to notify INEC and request a by-election under Section 116(2). The House Leader presented evidence and read Egbetamah’s resignation letter confirming his defection on April 30.
