Melaye beat his closest opponent, Smart Adeyemi, and other candidates in the election that was conducted on February 2019 for a second term in the upper legislative chamber.
Sam Adeyemi filed a petition before the tribunal to challenge the result, alleging that the process involved irregularities and disorganisations.
The tribunal agreed with him and nullified the election in a ruling delivered on Friday, August 23.
In a unanimous judgement, the three-member panel, led by Justice A. O. Chijioke, ordered for a new election to be conducted in the district.
