KADUNA, Nigeria – The Kaduna Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has declared the gubernatorial election in the state held on March 18, as inconclusive.
In a split decision of a ratio of 2:1, the tribunal declared the election inconclusive and directed that a supplementary election should be held by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), within 90 days.
INEC is to conduct election in seven wards in four Local Government Areas.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is challenging the election of Uba Sani of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the Governor of Kaduna State on the grounds of alleged irregularities and electoral fraud, saying that its Candidate (Isa Mohammed Ashiru) won the election.
During the hearing of the petition, the PDP and Ashiru called 24 witnesses and presented claims and documents to prove their case.
