The Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Asaba has affirmed the election of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
Chairman of the three-man tribunal, Justice Suleiman Belgore dismissed the petition by the candidate of All Progressive Congress, Great Ogburu for lack of merit.
Ogburu in his suit challenged the victory of Okowa at the election, alleging that the election was marred with irregularities and voting malpractices. Belgore however, said that the petitioner was not able to establish his claims beyond reasonable doubts as required by law.
