The governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Kaduna has upheld the victory of Uba Sani, the governor of Kaduna State, in the 18 March governorship election in the state.
Mr Sani was the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). His election was challenged by the first runner-up, Isah Ashiru of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The three-member panel led by Victor Oviawe declared that the PDP and its candidate could not validate their claim that the election was rigged.
