The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva, and his party on Tuesday closed their case in the petition challenging Governor Douye Diri’s victory in the November 11, 2023 election.
The petitioners closed their case after calling 52 witnesses to prove their allegations of fraud in the conduct of the election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Diri as the winner of the election after he polled 175,196 votes to defeat Sylva, who garnered 110,108 votes in the exercise.
