The governorship election petition tribunal in Benue State has struck out the petition brought before it by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the last general elections, Terhemen Tarzoor.

Tarzoor had approached the tribunal challenging the eligibility of Ortom to contest the 11 April, 2015 Governorship polls in the state and is praying the tribunal to declare Ortom’s votes invalid and return him as winner of the polls.

Delivering the judgement today, Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Elizabeth Karatu ruled that on whatever condition, Ortom was qualified to contest.

That the petitioner had failed to provide evidence to the petition including PDP membership register which could have shown that Ortom was still in PDP as at when he contested the elections, therefore Ortom was qualified by Sec 138 (1a) of the constitution.

The petition was hereby struck out, and dismissed and Ortom’s Certificate of Return restored.
