On Monday, the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal began proceedings in Abuja to consider challenges to the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.

Kenneth Okonkwo, a spokesperson for the LP, announced via Twitter that the tribunal has adjourned its sitting to Wednesday, May 10, 2023, at 2 pm. The adjournment will provide the tribunal with additional time to review the evidence and arguments presented before making a final determination.
