THE Cross River Governorship Election Tribunal has dismissed the petition of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Sandy Onor, against the election of Governor Bassey Otu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Tribunal delivered its verdict on Tuesday.
The Tribunal panel deemed the petition as lacking merit.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Bassey Out as the winner of the March 18 Governorship poll in Cross River state.
According to the results announced by the Commission, Otu garnered 258,619 votes, while Onor tallied 179,636 votes.
Otu is adjudged to have won in 15 local government areas of 18 LGAs.
However, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its Candidate, Onor, challenged the victory.
The Tribunal, with its judgment delivered today, has now upheld the announcement of INEC.
