The Bayelsa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja, has upheld the election that produced Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State.
The three-member panel led by Justice Adekunle Adeleye, dismissed the petition filed by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Timipre Sylva, and the party for lacking in merit.
In a unanimous decision, the Tribunal held that the petitioners failed to prove the allegations they raised against the re-election of Diri as Governor.
