The Supreme Court has upheld the victory of Senator Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last governorship election held in Edo State on September 21, 2024.

A five-member panel of the apex court, held in a unanimous judgment on Thursday, that the appellants – the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate in the election, Asue Ighodalo – failed to establish their case with sufficient and credible evidence.

In the lead judgment, Justice Mohammed Lawal Garba held that the appeal lacked merit, dismissed it and affirmed the May 29 judgment of the Court of Appeal, which earlier upheld the judgment of the election tribunal, affirming Okpebholo’s election.
