What the case is about
DPP candidate Muhammed Dingyadi challenged Wamakko's April 2007 election win, arguing Wamakko was still a member of the ANPP when he secured the PDP nomination he contested under.
Ruling & compliance
The lower tribunal dismissed the petition, but the Court of Appeal in Kaduna ordered a fresh election within 90 days; Wamakko's original 2007 election was annulled in April 2008, and he went on to win the 24 May 2008 rerun decisively, with 562,395 votes to Dingyadi's 124,046.
