The Bayelsa Governorship Election Tribunal sitting in Abuja has affirmed the election of Senator Duoye Diri, the the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, as Bayelsa State Governor.

The three-man panel took the decision on Saturday in a unanimous judgment delivered by Justice Owodunni.

The tribunal held that the petition filed by Owei Woniwei of the Alliance for Democracy is lacking in merit.

The Tribunal dismissed the petitioner allegations of forged declaration of age.

It also discarded allegations the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate levied against the Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence.

The decision came exactly a month after the Supreme Court dismissed an appeal filed by a former aspirant of the Bayelsa governorship election, Timi Alaibe.

Alaibe had challenged the candidacy of Senator Diri in the November 2019 election.
