The Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Osogbo has sacked Osun Governor; Senator Ademola Adeleke and declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the July 16, 2022 poll in the state, Adegboyega Oyetola, as the winner of the election.
Former Governor Oyetola is challenging the victory of Ademola Adeleke during the governorship election held on July 16, 2022 over anomalies in 749 polling units, and certificate forgery.
Reading the majority judgment, the chairman of the tribunal, Justice Tertsea Kume, said the election was marred by over-voting. He thereby deducted the number of over-voting presented by Oyetola and APC.
