The presidential election tribunal sitting in Abuja has affirmed President Muhammadu Buhari's victory in the February 23 presidential election.

The five-man tribunal headed by Justice Garba Mohammed delivered the judgement on Wednesday, September 11.

Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party had rejected the outcome of the presidential election and had approached the tribunal to challenge the victory of Buhari.

The former vice president in his suit had claimed that the election was marred by irregularities saying there were over-voting in some places and under-voting in places where he should have won.

The tribunal struck out Atiku's allegation that there was widespread harassment of voters by the police and army on the ground that the agencies were not listed as defendants.
