The Benue State Local Government Election Petition Tribunal is expected to deliver key judgments today, April 12, 2025, in Abuja. The rulings will address petitions stemming from the October 5, 2024, local government elections in the state.
The affected local government areas include Gboko, Tarka, Makurdi, Gwer West, Gwer East, Guma, and Buruku—regions that have witnessed heightened legal battles over disputed election results. The cases have drawn significant attention, not just for their political implications, but also due to the intense legal arguments and widespread public interest surrounding the conduct of the elections.
