The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has rejected
move by the Hope Democratic Party (HPD) to effect some amendments to the
petition it filed, challenging the outcome of the last presidential election
won by
President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
In two rulings on Thursday, a five-man panel of the court
was in unanimous in dismissing the two documents filed by HDP and its
presidential candidate during the election, Ambrose Owuru.
In the first ruling, the court dismissed a motion filed by
the petitioners on July 1, 2019, seeking to include more witnesses and
effective some amendments to their witnesses’ statement on oath.
In the second ruling, the court held that the document
titled: “notice to contend,” filed by the petitioners is not known to law.
