Photos from the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPT) in Abuja have emerged.

Vice President Kassim Shettima and Julius Abure, the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed; APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje; and Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule are among the top dignitaries that have been spotted so far.

There is also heavy security presence in and around the court premises ahead of the delivery of the judgment on the election petitions challenging the election of President Bola Tinubu.

Recall that the Labour Party (LP), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), as well as their presidential candidates, had petitioned the tribunal seeking to nullify the election of President Bola Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 presidential election.

In a statement on Monday, the chief registrar of the Court of Appeal, Umar BangarI announced that the judgment of the presidential election petition tribunal will be broadcast live.

Supporters of the petitioners have also been exchanging brickbats online even as they expressed optimism that the ruling would favor their candidates.

Below are the first photos and video from the courtroom
