In a statement issued by the distinguished Senator shortly after the judgement, he praised the court for dismissing the the People’s Democratic Party’s petition, stressing that, “…by dismissing the petition and holding that the claims against the election lacked substance, the apex court has now drawn a clear line under the matter, allowing us to fully focus on the task of governance and development.”
