Bayelsa Governorship Election Tribunal sitting in Abuja, on Monday, nullified the election that produced candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP), Senator Duoye Diri, as Governor.
In a majority judgment delivered by Justice Yunusa Musa in the petition, the tribunal held that the Independent National Electoral Commission unlawfully excluded Action Democratic Party (ADP) from the November 16, 2019 governorship election in the state.
The panel held that the election was unlawful due to the exclusion of ADP and its candidate, King George, from the November 16 Governorship Election.
The tribunal however ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct a bye election within 90 days.
