Tribunal Sacks Adeleke, Says Oyetola Won Osun Guber Poll

The Osun governorship election petition tribunal has declared that Gboyega Oyetola and not Ademola Adeleke won the 2022 election.

 

In August 2022, Gboyega Oyetola, former Osun governor, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) petitioned the tribunal to challenge the election victory of Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Among several issues, Oyetola is contending that there was overvoting in 749 polling units across 10 LGAs of the state.

The tribunal held that there was over-voting and after deductions declared that Oyetola won the election, having polled 314, 921, while Adeleke’s score came down to 290, 266.
