A total of 45 petitions regarding the recently concluded governorship, national, and state house of assembly elections have been filed in the Bauchi State Election Petition Tribunal by disgruntled candidates and political parties.

The state election tribunal made this known in a statement issued on Thursday in its office.

Four of the petitions, according to the document, contest the announcement that Gov. Bala Mohammed won the state’s governorship election on March 18.

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), which has Senator Halliru Jika running for governor, and the All Progressives Congress (APC), which has Sadique Abubakar, a former chief of the air staff, running for governor, are among the petitioners.

Others included the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM) and the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), which was running Ahmed Umar-Farouk for governor.

Additionally, 10 petitions were for the House of Representatives, 10 were for the State House of Assembly election, and 5 were for the Senate election, which was held on February 25 and March 18, respectively.

It was evident that petitions regarding the elections for the Shira/Giade, Katagum, Zaki, Jama’are/Itas, Ningi/Warji, and Bauchi Federal Constituencies had been submitted to the tribunal.

Other elections included those for the General Constituencies of Bogoro/Dass/Tafawa Balewa, Misau/Dambam, Alkaleri/Kirfi, and Ganjuwa/Darazo.

While there were three petitions contesting the election for the Bauchi North Senatorial District, there was only one petition each for the elections for the Bauchi Central and Bauchi South Senatorial Districts.
