According to the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT), Labour Party (LP) candidate for president Peter Obi was unable to substantiate electoral fraud.
Obi failed to demonstrate the claims of Electoral Act violations during the most recent presidential election, according to Justice Haruna Tsammani.
Tsammani draws attention to the alleged corrupt practises that Obi said tainted the election, including as overvoting, vote inflation, vote suppression, and vote inflation.
The presiding judge noted that some of the claims’ supporting sentences had previously been deleted because they were too general and lacking in specifics.
He pointed out that Obi had not offered any reliable proof for his claims of “suppression of votes, wrong computation of results, manipulation of results, and inflation of results.”
In reference to overvoting, Tsammani claimed that Obi was unable to “specify the number of votes and the margin of lead affected by overvoting” and that as a result, “the petitioners failed to establish the allegations of corrupt practises.”
