PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION PETITION TRIBUNAL DISMISSES EU REPORT ON 2023 ELECTION TENDERED BY OBI, LP
By Aishat Momoh. O.
The report from the European Union Election Observers Mission on the presidential election of February 25 was submitted by Peter Obi and the Labour Party, but it was rejected on Wednesday by the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.
The report was allegedly rejected by the court on the grounds that it was not submitted by a representative of the entity who is both the author and the custodian of the document.
The petitioners’ 18,088 blurred results sheets were also rejected by the court on the grounds that they are unrelated to any of the voting places included in the results and that they were not specified by the petitioners in their request.
According to reports, the actual copy of the report was earlier tendered by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party while prosecuting their petition before the tribunal.
