Aftermath

After the election, Otega Emerhor from the All Progressives Congress challenged the outcome of the election at the Delta State Governorship Elections Petitions Tribunal.[29][30][31] The APC candidate told the tribunal to cancel the elections and order a fresh one. The tribunal dismissed the petition and upheld the election of Ifeanyi Okowa. Great Ogboru from the LP also challenged the outcome of the election at the Delta State Governorship Elections Petitions Tribunal.[32][33][34] The LP candidate with his petition marked EPT/DT/GOV/01/2019, told the tribunal that the winner and his party, the PDP were unduly credited with excess votes by the Independent National Electoral Commission and that there was multiple voting as well as voting without smart card reader accreditation.[35][36][37] The tribunal dismissed the petition for failing to prove the allegations of voting without accreditation, illegal allocation of unlawful votes and multiple voting.[38][39][40] The both cases by the APC and LP candidates was taken to the Appeal court. Delivering the judgement, the Appeal court affirmed the election of the PDP candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa and dismissed the appeal of the LP candidate for lacking in merit. The Appeal court also dismissed the appeal by the candidate of the APC and upheld the judgement of the tribunal.[41][42][43] The both cases was also taken to Supreme court. On the judgement day, the Supreme court dismissed both petitions and said it's as an abuse of court process.[44][45][46]
