UPDATED: Tribunal upholds Gov Uba Sani’s election in Kaduna

The Kaduna State governorship election petition tribunal on Thursday upheld Governor Uba Sani’s victory in the March 18 election in the state.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Sani of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the election after he polled 730,001 votes to defeat his closest rival, Isah Ashiru of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who scored 719, 196 votes in the exercise.

Ashiru and his party however approached the tribunal to nullify the APC candidate’s victory over alleged fraud.
