The three-member panel said during its ruling in Abuja Friday
afternoon that the rerun election that held on September 27, 2018, was illegal.
The tribunal, therefore, deducted the votes scored by the APC
candidate Gboyega Oyetola at the rerun after declaring the rerun illegal.
The Election Petitions Tribunal set up for the 2018 governorship
election in Osun State has declared Ademola Adeleke winner of the election.
The tribunal said Mr Adeleke won the election at the first
ballot on September 22 and the rerun that INEC devised to reach a final
conclusion a week later was illegal.
“The declaration of Oyetola is null and void,” the tribunal
ruled in a majority decision with one member dissenting.
“The petitioner (Mr Adeleke)
having fulfilled the constitutional requirements and scored the majority lawful
vote is declared winner and returned as governor.
“The rerun in the seven cancelled units are hereby declared null
and void and of no electoral effect.”
The tribunal ordered the withdrawal of the certificate of return
issued to Mr Oyetola and ordered that a new certificate of return be issued to
Mr Adeleke.
