The Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC, proclaimed Bala Mohammed the victor of the March 18 governorship election, according to OBASANJO NEWS24.

But the APC candidate—a former chief of the air staff—appealed to the court to have the election declared invalid due to purported irregularities.
