The Rivers State Election Petition Tribunal has dismissed a petition filed by the All Progressive Congress (APC) due to its withdrawal by the party’s legal representation.
The three-member panel, headed by Justice Cletus Emifoniye, approved the request for a change of counsel and granted the motion to strike out APC as a petitioner.
The withdrawal of the APC was made in accordance with Order 9 Rule 15 of the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rules 2019.
The Tribunal has not yet scheduled a date to start hearing the pre-application processes.
