An appeals court in Nigeria has convened to rule on whether President Bola Tinubu’s election victory in February was legitimate.

An appeals court in Nigeria was to rule Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2023, on whether President Bola Tinubu's election victory in February was legitimate, a highly anticipated decision that has put Africa's most populous country on edge.
If the appeals court upholds the election commission's declaration of Tinubu as the winner of February's election, it could open a path for the body to decide on its own when and how future election results are announced. The opposing candidates filed separate petitions arguing that Tinubu was not qualified to become president and claiming the electoral commission did not follow due process in announcing the winner. The delays in uploading and announcing election results could have given room for ballot tampering, critics say.
