Edo -Governorship Tribunal rejects AA, Accord Party Petitions vs. APC, Governor Okpebholo

In its ruling on Wednesday, the tribunal hit the petition that AA and his candidate, Rufai Omoaje, submitted, and described it as a lack of merit and frivolous. The Edo State Election Petty -Tribunal, which was sitting in Abuja, rejected the petitions submitted by the Action Alliance (AA) and the Accord Party and challenged the Governor’s election on Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC). In its ruling on Wednesday, the tribunal hit the petition that AA and his candidate, Rufai Omoaje, submitted, and described it as a lack of merit and frivolous. The Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec) declared Okpebholo as the winner of the election election with 291,667 votes and defeated his closest opponent, Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which received 247,655 votes. Similarly, the tribunal, which held its proceedings at the National Judicial Institute (NJI) in Abuja, rejected the petition submitted by the Accord Party. The court ruled that the party and his candidate for the governor, Dr. Bright enabulele, not their allegations of malpractice for election providers. The requesters demanded widespread incidents of ballots, harassment of voters and use, but the tribunal noted that they failed to provide credible evidence or mention any specific offenders. Furthermore, the tribunal observed contradictions in the arguments of the requesters-on one side they claimed that they were not complying with the Electoral Act. They sought the vanity of the election, while on the other hand they requested to be declared the winners of the same election, which according to them were flawed. In his final decision, the tribunal concluded that there was no material evidence that justified the annulment of the election results. This reaffirmed the victory of Okpebholo, saying that the election was executed in accordance with the law and was declared properly by Inec.
