The Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has displayed two petitions filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), challenging the re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke.

The petitions were pasted on the notice board of the tribunal secretariat in Osogbo on Monday, formally setting the legal process in motion over the August 15 governorship election.

The development followed confirmation by the Secretary of the Tribunal, Pefe Belemore, that petitions challenging the outcome of the election had been filed.

The APC and PDP are challenging the outcome of the election, which returned Adeleke for another term in office.

The display of the petitions is expected to pave the way for the service of processes on the parties and subsequent proceedings before the tribunal.

The APC’s petition, marked EPT/OS/GOV/01/2026, was filed by its candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, against Adeleke, the Accord Party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The PDP’s petition, marked EPT/OS/GOV/02/2026, was filed by Adebayo Olugbenga Adedamola against Adeleke, INEC and the Accord Party.
