The Delta State Governorship Election petition sitting in Asaba, the state capital, has upheld the election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
Okowa's victory in the election was challenged at the tribunal by the candidate of the All Peoples Congress, O’tega Emerhor, and that of the Labour Party (LP), Great Ovedje Ogboru urging the tribunal to nullify the election on the grounds of substantial non-compliance with the Electoral Act, 2010.
It is unclear if the APC and Labour party are going to seek an appeal over the tribunal's decision.
