The rerun Osun governorship election on September 27, 2018 in seven polling units was illegal, The Osun State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja has declared.
The Nation reports that the court stated the exercise was borne out of an illegal cancellation of results in the polling units during the September 22, 2018 original poll.
The Returning Officers who declared the results cancelled, according to the Tribunal, lacked the power to do it.
The Peoples Democratic Party and its governorship candidate, Ademola Adeleke, petitioned the tribunal to declare Adeleke the governor-elect having polled the highest lawful votes.
