US EditionOndo Election Tribunal Upholds Gov Aiyedatiwa's Victory
- The Tribunal sitting in Akure has rejected all challenges to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa's victory in the November 16, 2024, Ondo State governorship election.
- The petitions by opposition parties including AA, APM, and SDP challenged the election based on alleged irregularities but lacked merit and credible evidence.
- The Tribunal, led by Justice Benson Ogubu with Justices Imelda Etiape and Daurabu Sikkam, unanimously ruled that AA lacked standing since it did not field a candidate.
- The Tribunal ruled that challenges based on unlawful exclusion were no longer applicable following the repeal of the relevant provision in the 2010 Electoral Act, dismissed accusations of corrupt practices due to lack of credible evidence, and found that concerns regarding 3,834 polling units were unsubstantiated.
- The rulings upheld Aiyedatiwa’s victory, rejected all petitions as baseless, and declined to award costs against petitioners, consolidating the election outcome legally.
