The Plateau State Election Petition Trial Tribunal sitting in Jos has affirmed the election of Caleb Mutfwang of the PDP as governor of Plateau State and dismissed the petition filed by Dr. Nentawe Yilwada of the APC.
Nentawe had approached the tribunal challenging the declaration of Mutfwang by INEC as governor.
He alleged that at the time of the election Mutfwang was not qualified to contest, having not been validly nominated and sponsored by his party as the party had no structure then.
In the judgment yesterday, the tribunal dismissed Nentawe’s petition for lacking merit.
