In a judgment delivered on Monday, the court declared Amos Yohanna, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , as the winner of the senatorial election.

Yohanna had sued Abbo, the All Progressives Congress and the Independent National Electoral Commission before tribunal to challenge the outcome of the senatorial election.
