Justice Stephen Adah, a member of the five-man panel who read the ruling said it was on the grounds that the petitioner did not file their statements on oath along with the petition.

PEPT also noted that the petitioner could not file the statements on oath “before the close of the 21-day window given from the date election result was announced.”
