The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has quashed the application of the opposition PDP and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to carry out amendments on the petition filed to challenge President Buhari's victory in the last presidential election.
A five-member panel of the tribunal, unanimously dismissed the applications in two rulings on Thursday.
In the first ruling, the court dismissed a motion filed by the petitioners on July 1, 2019, seeking to include more witnesses and effect some amendments to their witnesses’ statement on oath.
In the second ruling, the court held that the document titled: “notice to contend,” filed by the petitioners is not known to law.
