The tribunal led by Justice Mosumola Dipeolu unanimously struck out the petition brought by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Daniel Onjeh, who lost to Mark of the People's Democratic Party.
Justice Dipelou said Onjeh and the APC were unable to prove allegations of rigging, multiple thumb-printing, over stuffing of ballots, allocation of votes, intimidation, harassment and inducement of voters among others.
He promised to bring the dividend of democracy to his constituents and beyond.
