In a significant development in Pennsylvania State Representative Arvind Venkat’s re-election bid, a Commonwealth Court has ruled that his primary challenger, Ehab Akkary, is ineligible to contest the election.
The decision, based on state law requiring candidates to have lived in Pennsylvania for four years and in their district for at least one year, leaves "Venkat as the only candidate left on the ballot", Venkat's campaign team said on X.
