The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on Monday dismissed the application of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), and Labour Party(LP) asking for live coverage of the proceedings of the tribunal.
In a unanimous decision, the five man panel ruled against live telecast of the proceedings.
The Chairman of the Tribunal, Justice Haruna Tsammani dismissed the application saying it lacked merit.
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, had filed an application on May 8 for an order to allow the live coverage of the daily court proceedings on the case they brought against the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, following the February 25 election.
However, a week later, Tinubu opposed the application for a live broadcast of the proceedings of the election petition, describing it as an abuse of court process.
