Daily Report Nigeria reports that the tribunal ordered a rerun between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

The judgment follows a petition brought forward by the APC, challenging the outcome of the March 18 gubernatorial election in the state.

The ruling follows a thorough examination of the evidence and arguments presented by both parties.

The Tribunal found merit in the APC’s petition and declared that irregularities and substantial non-compliance with electoral laws had occurred during the initial election.

With the ruling, the Independent National Electoral Commission will announce date for the rerun election with both parties expected to engage in rigorous campaigns to secure the electorate’s support.

With this ruling, the Supreme Court has affirmed the outcome of the election as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
