Judgement is also expected to be delivered by election tribunals in 25 states for Governorship, National Assembly, and State Assembly Election Petitions.

The legal tussle is one of the major steps through which winners of the elections will be determined.

Any party that is dissatisfied still has the option to appeal against the judgement of the Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court. In the case of the Presidential office, the next stage is the Supreme Court, while that of Governorship is the Court of Appeal.
