The governorship election that produced Duoye Diri as Governor has been nullified by Bayelsa State Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja.

Senator Duoye Diri was the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The election was nullified over exclusion of ADP and its candidate, King George from the November 16 Governorship Election.
