 The election petition tribunal for the 2023 governorship election in New York State has ruled to discontinue a petition filed by the Action Alliance AAPART is seeking for a rerun of the election. The petitioners through their council had claimed Babatundia Jalla was validly nominated for a birth unlawfully excluded from the election as a bona fide candidate of the Action Alliance but eventually sought the leave of the tribunal to discontinue their petition for lack of sufficient ruling. A model also awarded the sum of 100,000 naira, 250,000 naira and 200,000 naira against the petition in favor of the first, second and third respondents, respectively with the first respondent being Ainek, the second being Shea McIndy and the third being the PDP. Speaking after the ruling, council to the petitioners, Etibo Orowo King said though their petition was based on the corruption that characterized the primary elections of Action Alliance for the resolve to discontinue their legal processes in the interests of peace and orderliness in the state. What happened today is the final end of a petition brought by Action Alliance against the emergence of Governor Shea McIndy in the March 18th election. The petition was essentially to ask for a rerun of that election on the basis that the candidates that was cleared for the election was not the candidate that was fielded by that party for the election. The candidates and political parties who performed abysmally in an election should not be allowed to come to court to fish and waste valuable judicial time. Here is a political party out of all the 230 local governments in the New York state today scored 387 votes, challenging a person who scored 563,000 plus votes. I mean the electoral act ought to be amended to create a treasured that if you have not scored at least a quarter of all the total votes cast in the state, you should not come to the election tribunal. We actually withdrew the matter in the interests of justice, in the interests of peace, in the interests of tranquility in New York state, that is why we withdrew the application. We reviewed our position and we said it is best we withdraw the application for peace to arrive. So that is my reaction to the ruling that was delivered today.
