The decision came after a petition filed by Abdullahi Danbaba of the All Progressives Congress (APC) challenging Tambuwal’s win.
Danbaba’s petition alleged that the election did not comply substantially with the provisions of the Electoral Act and requested the Tribunal to declare the election inconclusive.
He also urged the Tribunal to order a re-election in 28 polling units where he claimed the election did not take place during both the substantive and supplementary polls held in February and April.
