They are asking the tribunal to invalidate the results initially declared by INEC where Mr Buhari was said to have polled 15,191,847 votes to emerge winner of the elections.
PDP accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of manipulating what the petitioners described as the actual results of the election to amass illegal votes for Mr Buhari.

The PDP and its presidential candidate also accused INEC of storing the real results of the 2019 election in a central server.
