The Election Petition Tribunal in Sokoto State on Wednesday upheld the election of former governor Aminu Tambuwal as the duly elected Senator representing Sokoto South senatorial district.
The three-member tribunal panel, led by Justice Denis Echesi, delivered a unanimous ruling.
In the judgment, the panel dismissed the petition filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Alhaji Danbaba Danbuwa.
The tribunal held that the petitioners, APC and its candidate, failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. As a result, they were ordered to pay a fine of N200,000 to each of the respondents.
