The Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal is currently delivering judgment on the second petition filed by the Accord Party challenging the outcome of the 2024 governorship election in the State.
This petition is among a series of legal challenges mounted against the declaration of Senator Monday Okpebholo as the duly elected Governor of Edo State. The Accord Party had alleged irregularities and non-compliance with the Electoral Act, seeking a nullification of the election results and, in some instances, a rerun.
Observers, party loyalists, and legal representatives have gathered at the tribunal venue as proceedings unfold. The outcome of this judgment will mark a significant moment in the post-election legal battles.
A final verdict is expected within the hour after PDP’s petition is dispensed with.
