In a significant ruling, the Edo State Election Petition Tribunal has reaffirmed Senator Monday Okpebholo’s victory in the September 21st governorship election. The tribunal dismissed the petitions filed by opposition parties, citing a lack of substantial evidence to support their claims.
The court’s decision underscores the legitimacy of Senator Okpebholo’s electoral mandate, solidifying his position as the duly elected governor of Edo State. This ruling not only validates the will of the people but also reinforces the integrity of the electoral process.
With this legal hurdle cleared, Senator Okpebholo can now focus on delivering on his campaign promises and driving forward his vision for the development of Edo State. This marks another resounding victory for Senator Okpebholo and his supporters.
It’s worth noting that this is not the first time the tribunal has dismissed petitions against Senator Okpebholo. In February 2025, the tribunal dismissed petitions filed by the Action Democratic Party, Zenith Labour Party, and Allied People’s Movement, citing a lack of merit in their applications .
