GOMBE: TRIBUNAL FIXES JULY 9 FOR BILLIRI LG ELECTION CASE
The Gombe State Local Government Election Petition Tribunal has scheduled July 9 for the continuation of the hearing of petitions filed by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, contesting the results of the local government elections held on April 27, 2024.
PDP had submitted a petition challenging the election results of All Progressives Congress (APC) deputy chairman Muhammad Adamu and Gombe Local Government chairman Sani Haruna, as well as the Gombe State Independent Electoral Commission (GSIEC).
In addition, the PDP candidate for Billiri Local Government filed a lawsuit against Mrs. Egla Idris, the announced winner.
The PDP petition, made available to journalists, seeks several reliefs, including a declaration that the election conducted by GSIEC on April 27, 2024, was invalid due to corrupt practices, irregularities, and legal offences.
“An order of the Tribunal nullifying the purported declaration of the 1st and 2nd respondents as chairman and deputy chairman of the Gombe Local Government Council.
“An order of the Tribunal restraining the 1st and 2nd respondents from holding themselves as chairperson and deputy chairman of Gombe Local Government and the 4th respondent from recognizing them as such.
“A declaration that the election supposedly and, or purportedly conducted by GSIEC on the 27th April 2024, was voided by corrupt practices, irregularities, and offenses under the applicable law,” the case file reads in part.
