Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT, has struck out part of the petition before it by Peter Obi and the Labour Party.
Gatekeepers News reports that PEPT struck out about 17 paragraphs for containing “vague and generic allegations”.
A member of the tribunal’s five-member panel, Justice Abba Mohammed read the lead judgement.
Obi and LP alleged irregularities and said they would rely on spreadsheets, inspection reports and forensic analysis filed with the petition during the trial.
However, Justice Mohammed, while reading the judgement on Wednesday held that the petitioners failed to show which polling units the malpractices alleged occurred; the number of votes affected; and their polling unit agents who reported the alleged irregularities, and malpractices, among others.
This is a developing story.
