The five-man panel of the appellate court held that the tribunal acted outside its jurisdiction in nullifying the governor’s election.

The judgement also upheld that the ANDP did not prove a valid nomination of its candidate to contend an alleged unlawful exclusion.

The case of ANDP was also statute barred having failed to file within 14days as expected.
