The Chairman of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, has withdrawn from the tribunal.

You will recall that the Peoples Democratic Party had alleged that Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa will not be fair in sitting over the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal due to relationship of her family members with the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Although the five-man panel of the tribunal, in a unanimous ruling dismissed the application, Bulkachuwa said she was withdrawing for “personal reasons.”
