The chairman of the three-man panel, Justice Tertsea Kume, on January 14, reserved judgement for a later day after the petitioner and respondents had adopted their final written addresses.
Oyetola and the All Progressives Congress (APC) had, on August 5, 2022, filed a petition before the tribunal sitting in Osogbo, the Osun State capital challenging the election results from 749 polling units across 10 local government areas, alleging electoral malpractices, especially over-voting.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Adeleke as the winner of the governorship election, having polled 403,271 votes against 375,027 polled by Oyetola.
