Photo: Punch[/caption] In a split decision of 2:1, the tribunal ruled that the election was inconclusive and ordered a supplementary election to be conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) within 90 days. This decision comes in response to a petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Isah Mohammed Ashiru, challenging the election of Uba Sani as the Governor of Kaduna State due to alleged irregularities and electoral fraud, Punch reports. The supplementary election will involve 24 polling units in seven wards of four local governments with 16,300 registered voters. Earlier, the election petition tribunal sitting in Lokoja declared Natasha Akpoti as the winner of the February 25 Kogi Central Senatorial election. The tribunal chairman, Justice K.A.
