Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal Rejects Most of Labour Party's Witnesses

The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal has revealed that it rejected 10 out of 13 witnesses presented by the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi. 

Justice Haruna Tsammani, who delivered the judgment, explained that only three witnesses had their statements on oath filed along with the petition, as required by the law. 

The remaining 10 witnesses were subpoenaed, and their witness statements on oath were only filed after the hearing had started. 

The court cited constitutional and electoral act provisions, stating that all witness statements on oath must be filed along with the petition, and no additional statements can be filed after the specified window has closed.
