Boko has always remained adamant in his belief that the 2019 General Election was rigged by the BDP. In January 2020 the Court of Appeal (CoA) dismissed with costs 14 UDC election petitions. The petitions were dismissed citing a lack of jurisdiction. The UDC had petitioned the court and contested the outcome of the elections citing “irregularities in some of the constituencies”.

Boko’s stolen election claims were discredited by judges in election petitions that failed to overturn the election result.
