The Kaduna Division of the Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeal of the Peoples Democratic Party and its gubernatorial candidate, Alhaji Isa Ashiru against the refusal of the Kaduna State Governorship Petition Tribunal to order for the recount of votes.
It will be recalled the tribunal had struck out the petitioners’ request, seeking for a recount of votes cast in the governorship election which held on March 9, for lack of merit. Specifically, the petitioners had asked the tribunal to order the votes recount in Kaduna North, Kaduna South, Igabi, Giwa, Zaria, Sabon Gari, Makarfi, Birnin Gwari and Ikara amongst other local government areas.
Meanwhile, the appellate court agreed with the respondents that, the counting of votes and making it an exhibit in court is part of a trial, which is capable of disposing off the main claim in the matter.
