Just In: Presidential Election Tribunal Strikes Out APM’s Petition Against Candidacy Of Vice-President, Shettima

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM)’s petition challenging double nomination of vice-President, Kashim Shettima has just been struck out by the Presidential Election Tribunal in Abuja.

Justice Haruna Tsammani, chairman of the panel, read out the ruling.

The tribunal held that the issue of double nomination of any candidate was a pre-election matter.

According to Tsammani, the APM lacks the locus standi to challenge the nomination of the candidates of another political party.

Peter Obi and the Labour Party had also challenged the same double nomination of Shettima.
