The camps of the All Progressives Congress and the Social Democratic Party in Ekiti State are both hopeful of favourable judgement in the dispute over the June 18 governorship election to be determined today by the governorship election petitions tribunal.
Dissatisfied with the declaration by INEC of the APC candidate, Biodun Oyebanji, as the winner of the election, the SDP and its candidate, Chief Segun Oni, had filed a petition before the tribunal, urging it to declare SDP winner having allegedly scored the highest number of valid votes.
The three-member tribunal led by Justice Wilfred Kpochi, had on November 23 reserved judgement after listening to the sides in the matter.
Judgement was reserved after the presentation and adoption of written addresses by the parties. Both sides are optimistic of victory in the judgement.
