The Osun Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Osogbo, Osun State, has overturned the result of the governorship election held on July 16, 2022.

The tribunal found that there was over-voting in some local government areas in the state and deducted the votes obtained from those areas from the overall votes obtained by both candidates .

In a split decision, the majority decision favoured Adegboyega Oyetola, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the tribunal directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the certificate of return earlier issued to Adeleke and issue a new one to the APC candidate.

According to The Punch, the court arrived at 314,921 votes for Oyetola and 290,266 for Adeleke.
