Tribunal dismisses LP/Obi’s petition on 25 per cent for FCT

The Presidential Elections Petion Tribunal has dismissed Labour Party/Peter Obi’s petition on 25 per cent for FCT needed to win the presidential election.

According to the court, FCT residents have no special privileges as the petitioners claimed.

MRH reports that the court has also rejected the reports of forensic analyses tendered by LP’s three witnesses. According to the court, they are either made during the pendency of the case or by an interested party.

This is as it rejected the European Union report on the polls, arguing that it was not tendered by an official of the body.
