The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has set aside the September 28 ruling of the election petition tribunal which declared the last governorship election in Kaduna State inconclusive.
In a unanimous judgment on Friday, a three-member panel of the court ruled that, as against the finding of the tribunal, the election was conclusive and won by the All Progressives Congress (APC) whose candidate was Uba Sani.
The court held that there was no basis for the tribunal to have ordered the conduct of supplementary election in 22 polling units in seven wards in four Local Government Areas in Kaduna State.
