Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has thrown out the petition filed by former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege of the All Progressive Congress, APC, challenging the victory of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the March 18 election.
The Justice C.H. Ahuchaogu-led panel gave the ruling on Friday.
The petition was dismissed on the grounds that it contained unsubstantiated allegations.
The court also noted that the petition lacked merit and was speculative.
Omo-Agege came second in the March 18 election.
He is challenging the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to declare Oborevwori the winner of the election.
