In two separate judgments, the appellate court declared Ngozi Okolie of the Labour Party (LP) as the rightful winner of the election.

The Court of Appeal agreed with the lawyer representing the Labour Party, Mahmud Magaji (SAN), that Okolie was duly nominated and sponsored by his party and had resigned from his position as a Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Government in accordance with the Constitution.
