The Bayelsa state election tribunal has dismissed the petition filed by APC's Timimpre Sylva challenging the victory of Seriake Dickson in the last governorship elections in the state.
According to the three-man panel of the tribunal led by Justice Kazeem Alogba, Sylva and APC failed to prove their case with credible evidence.
It held that criminal allegations of various electoral offences which the petitioners stated affected the outcome of the election were not proved beyond reasonable doubt. It held that the petition was not backed by proof and required standard.
Sylva and the APC had filed the petition on January 30, 2016.
