Tribunal nullifies Bayelsa governorship election

 

The Bayelsa State Gubernatorial Petition Tribunal has nullified the election of Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State.

The election was nullified based on a petition by the Advanced Nigeria Democratic Party, which argued that it was unlawfully excluded from participating in the election.

The tribunal ruling can, however, still be challenged at the appeal court.

More details later on the tribunal’s Monday ruling will be provided in subsequent updates.

Monday’s ruling comes two days after the tribunal dismissed three other petitions against the election of Mr Diri of the Peoples Democratic Party.
