The Governorship Elections Petition Tribunal sitting in Jos has upheld the election of Governor Caleb Mutfwang of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The All Progressives Congress (APC) and its governorship candidate Nentawe Yilwatda had approached the court to seek redress, challenging the victory of Muftwang.
However, a three-member panel, in its judgment today unanimously dismissed all three grounds canvassed by the petitioner for lack of merit.
On March 20, the INEC Returning Officer in the state, Idris Amali, announced Mutfwang as the winner of the governorship election having scored 525,299 votes, while Yilwatda polled 481,370 votes.
