Presidential Election Tribunal: Atiku, PDP call three more witnesses
Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has presented their 23rd, 24th and 25tg witnesses before the Presidential Election Petition Court sitting at the Court of Appeal headquarters in Abuja.

All the witnesses who worked as INEC adhoc staff during the presidential election said they were able to conduct the election peacefully and in accordance with the commission’s guidelines but said they were unable to transmit election results from their BVAS machines as stipulated.
