Qualification, disqualification of candidates a pre-election matter


The Justice Haruna Tsammani-led five-member panel of the Presidential Petition Election Tribunal on Wednesday said the Allied Peoples Movement’s petition challenging the qualification of Vice President, Kashim Shettima, was a pre-election matter. Reading his verdict, Tsammani said the matter ought to have been challenged before the conduct of the presidential election. He said, “The issue of qualification or disqualification is a constitutional one. The issue of disqualification or qualification is a pre-election matter. The petition, number four will be treated first.”The APM was challenging the qualification of the Vice president, Kashim Shettima among others.
