Justice Haruna Tsammani, the panel’s Chairman, delivered the leading judgment, asserting that an invalid nomination or double nomination does not constitute a valid ground for disqualification in the context of the presidential election, as stipulated in sections 131 and 137 of the constitution.

He further clarified that Mr. Ibrahim Masari, nominated as a placeholder by the APC for the Vice President position, was not a essential party to the petition since he was neither a candidate nor a victor in the election.
