Gov. Aregbesola and Senator Omisore |
There are strong indications that the Osun state election tribunal may overturrn Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s victory in the recently concluded gubernatorial election and order the swearing in of Senator Iyiola Omisore of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
It was gathered that Osun guber elections vote recount has revealed that Aregbesola polled 296,344 Votes while Omisore polled 308,299 votes, indication that Omisore is the true winner of August 9, governorship election in Osun state.
According to AIT, the tribunal’s manual inspection and re-counting of ballot papers used for the election revealed that Omisore secured more valid votes in the Osun state governorship election and once the Tribunal members confirm the re-counted results, Osun state will surely be having a new governor in couple of weeks to come.
Although, the tribunal is currently on recess till October 30.
