The petitioners failed to unseat the elected members at the national and state assembly tribunal constituted to hear such petitions.
The three members who retained their seats are Ezekiel Afon for Pengana, Yahaya Adamu for Wase and Alice Dimlong for Pankshin North assembly constituencies.
In the judgment, on the petition of Gondina Musa Sambo against the elected Ezekiel Afon, the tribunal found that almost 80 per cent of the documents that the petitioner relied on were inadmissible.
The tribunal held on Saturday that it was therefore unable to ascribe value to any of the petitioners, which was termed as contradictory in all facets and accordingly dismissed it for lack of merits.
