The Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Ebonyi State has upheld the election of Governor David Umahi and struck out the petition by the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM) against the election.
The PDM had dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission to court for excluding its name from the ballot box.
Mr Umahi defeated Sunny Ogbuoji of the All Progressive Congress , who placed second, and 35 other candidates to win a second term in office. The tribunal also said that there was no evidence before it to show that the party submitted the name of its candidate to INEC before the stipulated deadline.
