The election of the bayelsa state governor, Duoye Diri has been nullified by state Gubernatorial Petition Tribunal.
The nullification of the election based on a petition by the Advanced Nigeria Democratic Party, which argued that it was unlawfully excluded from participating in the election.
The tribunal ruling can, however, still be challenged at the appeal court.
More details later on the tribunal’s Monday ruling will be provided in subsequent updates.
Monday’s rulling comes just two days after the tribunal dismissed three other petitions against the election of Mr Diri of the Peoples Democratic Party.
