The Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Kaduna has declared the 2023 governorship election in Kaduna state inconclusive, directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a supplementary election within 90 days.
In a verdict announced via zoom, the 3-man panel led by Justice Victor Oviawe ordered a rerun of election in 24 polling units in seven wards of four local governments consisting of 16,300 registered voters.
Recall that the petition was filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Isah Mohammed Ashiru, challenging the election of Governor Uba Sani as the Governor of Kaduna State on the grounds of alleged irregularities and electoral fraud.
