The Delta State Election Petitions Tribunal will
on Saturday deliver its ruling on the merit of the governorship rerun
petition brought before it by Chief Great Ogboru of the Democratic
Peoples Party.
The petition is between the DPP governorship candidate in the court-ordered rerun and Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan in the election held on January 6, 2011.
The tribunal had at its inaugural sitting on Thursday in Asaba, said it had just 30 days to deliver judgment on the matter.
The amendment to the 1999 constitution stipulates a 180-day timeline for tribunals to write judgments from the date of filing of election petition.
A three member panel was last month constituted to hear cases involving the governorship rerun and legislative elections in the state.
