In a surprising development, the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Jos has nullified the election results for the Barakinladi-Riyom federal constituency.
The tribunal’s ruling today came as a surprise, as it declared the candidate of the Labour Party as the winner of the election, despite having initially come in second place during the election.
The decision was primarily based on the failure of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to adhere to the orders issued by a Jos High Court, leading to the nullification of the election results.
