Breaking news on presidential election tribunal
I'm not aware of any specific breaking news on the Presidential Election Tribunal at this moment. However, I can provide you with some general information on the Presidential Election Tribunal in Nigeria.
The Presidential Election Tribunal is a judicial body established by the Nigerian Constitution to hear and determine petitions arising from presidential elections. The tribunal is composed of three judges, who are appointed by the Chief Justice of Nigeria.
In the 2019 presidential election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, filed a petition against the winner of the election, President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The petition alleged that the election was marred by irregularities and that the results were not credible.
The tribunal has been hearing the petition since June 2019, and has so far delivered several rulings and judgments. In July 2020, the tribunal dismissed the PDP's petition, upholding the election of President Buhari as the winner of the election.
However, the PDP has appealed the tribunal's decision to the Supreme Court, which is the highest court in Nigeria. The appeal is still pending, and the Supreme Court has not yet delivered a judgment.
I hope this information is helpful.
