The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal's court will be broadcast live on television on September 6, 2023, barring any last-minute changes.
Umar Bangari, the Chief Registrar of the Appeal Court, Abuja division, revealed this.
According to Bangari, the choice to broadcast the verdict-making proceedings will encourage openness and transparency.
A statement by Bangari reads partly: “In a bid to promote transparency and openness, these judgements will be televised live by interested Television stations for the public to follow.â€
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi, and the Labour Party (LP) are contesting President Bola Tinubu's victory in the February 14 presidential election before the tribunal.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC, declared Tinubu the winner of the most recent presidential election.
However, Atiku and Obi claimed that the president's victory was influenced by election fraud and INEC's favouritism of Tinubu.
