Breaking: Nigeria presidential tribunal upholds President Bola Tinubu victory
The Nigerian presidential election tribunal upholds victory of Bola Tinubu, elected in March 2023.
Nigeria’s presidential election tribunal ruled on Wednesday that Nigeria’s main opposition parties failed to prove claims of electoral malpractice against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in February’s disputed elections.
“This petition is hereby declared unmeritorious,” one of the judges said after more than six hours of reading though their detailed judgment.
The APC’s Bola Tinubu had been declared president with around a third of the votes ahead of closest rivals Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party who then sued to upturn the victory.
Judges rejected all claims made by Labour Party candidate Obi, including fraud, charges electoral authorities broke the law and allegations Tinubu was ineligible to run.
The court was also reading its judgement on a second opposition party petition, which is also expected to be dismissed.
