Obaseki confirmed winner of Edo State Governorship election

Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has been declared winner of the Edo Governorship election last year.

The Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Benin upheld the election of Obaseki, declaring that the petition filed by the People’s Democratic Party  (PDP) and its candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, to be declared winner of the election lacked merit.

The Tribunal asserted that the reliance of the petitioners on the ticking of the name of a prospective voter on the left side of the voters’ register to mark complete accreditation was only an administrative guideline for election officials.
