The Ondo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, sitting in Akure, the state capital, Friday dismissed the petitions filed by the governorship candidate of Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Mr. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, and the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Olusola Oke, over the 20 October, 2012 governorship election in the state.<\/p>\n
The two candidates and their parties alleged in their petitions that the election which Mimiko won, was marred by irregularities and alleged illegal inclusion of 164,742 voters in the register.<\/p>\n
