The Election Petitions Tribunal hearing the All Progressives Congress’ Adegboyega Oyetola’s petition against the victory of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Ademola Adeleke has annulled the result of the July 16 Osun governorship election. Justice Tetsea Kume, while delivering a majority decision, declared that the Independent National Electoral Commission did not comply substantially with the constitution and the provisions of the Electoral Act. He pointed at over-voting observed from the votes scored by the candidates and declared after deductions that Oyetola won the election, having polled 314, 921, while Adeleke’s score came down to 290, 266. INEC has since been directed to withdraw Adeleke’s certificate of return and issue another one to Oyetola as winner of the Election.
