Binani, a member of the APC, had contested the election results, alleging that the exercise did not adhere to the provisions of the electoral act.
However, on Saturday, the tribunal dismissed Binani’s petition and confirmed Fintiri’s victory.
The governor had secured a total of 430,861 votes in the entire election, while Binani got 398,788 votes.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Fintiri as the winner after April 18 supplementary election.
