The governorship election petition tribunal in Plateau, on Friday, upheld the election of Governor Caleb Mutfwang of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Dr Nentawe Yilwatda of the All Progressive Congress (APC) had headed for the court and asked to be declared winner because the PDP does not have structure and there was overvoting.
The petitioner also asked the court to include the votes of the 14 polling units rejected by INEC.
Meanwhile, Justice R. Irele-Ifineh-led panel, while delivering judgement, held that the issues raised by the petitioner on party structure were pre-election matters. The petitioners lacked the jurisdiction to challenge it, adding that PDP had a repeat congress on the 25th of September, 2021, in compliance with the order of the Jos High Court delivered by Justice S.P.Gang.
