Ekiti Election Alleged Rigging: Fayose Wins At Tribunal

The Ekiti State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, yesterday, affirmed Governor Ayodele Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party as the winner of the governorship election held in the state on June 21, 2014.

The three-man panel which conducted its proceeding in Abuja, dismissed the petition filed against Fayose by the All Progressives Congress, APC.

It will be recalled that APC had alleged that the election witnessed an unprecedented level of rigging, manipulation of voters register and wide spread election malpractices, and also queried the legal qualification of Fayose to participate in the process.
