The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck out two appeals filed by Seriake Dickson and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against a suit seeking his disqualification from contesting the concluded Bayelsa West Senatorial District election.
Mr Dickson, a former governor of Bayelsa State, had won the bye-election.
He had appealed a Court of Appeal ruling which set aside a ruling by the Federal High Court, Yenagoa, which dismissed a suit seeking to disqualify him from contesting in the senatorial election.
