The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar has asked the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) to declare him winner or order a rerun between him and the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
In the alternative, he wants the entire election nullified and a fresh one conducted.
These are the key reliefs being sought in the petition filed for him and the PDP at the PEPC secretariat on Tuesday night by their team of lawyers led by Joe Gadzama (SAN).
Listed as respondents in the petition are the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), Tinubu and his party, the All Progressives Congress, (APC).
Atiku and the PDP are challenging the election on four grounds. They are that:
*The election of the 2nd respondent (Tinubu) is invalid by reason of noncompliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022.
*The election of the 2nd respondent Is invalid by reason of corrupt practices.
*The 2nd respondent was not duly elected by majority of lawful votes cast at the election.
*The 2nd respondent was, at the time of the election, not qualified to contest the election.
