LEADERSHIP recalls that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), had on Sunday, September 22, 2024 declared Senator Okpebholo of the APC winner of the poll.

The APC candidate polled 291,667 votes to defeat candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP), Dr. Asue Ighodalo and Barr. Olumide Akpata who scored 247, 274 and 22,763 votes respectively

Dissatisfied with the declaration of INEC, the PDP and six other political parties who participated in the poll approached the tribunal to challenge the declaration made by the electoral body.
