EDO STATE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION PETITION TRIBUNAL DISMISSES SDP’S PETITION

The Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has dismissed the petition filed by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) challenging the election of Senator Monday Okpebholo. The three-man Tribunal, led by Justice Wilfred Kpochi, struck out the case after SDP’s counsel, Jackson Ehiabhi, informed the court that the party no longer wished to proceed.

Ehiabhi cited a directive from the party’s National Secretariat as the reason for the withdrawal. No further details were provided. The dismissal brings an end to the SDP’s challenge to Okpebholo’s election.
