The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja is

expected to begin pre-hearing in the petitions challenging the

outcome of the February 25 presidential election today.

The candidates of the People's Democratic Party in the

election, Atiku Abubakar and that of the Labour Party, Peter

Obi are both challenging the outcome of the election where

the Independent National Electoral Commission (INC)

declared Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress

as winner.

Atiku, in his 66-page petition, is praying the tribunal to declare

him winner of the poll or order a fresh election.

On his part, Obi, in his petition, is also praying the tribunal to

nullify Tinubu’s election.
