The petitions were pasted on the notice board of the tribunal secretariat in Osogbo on Monday, formally commencing the legal process arising from the August 15 governorship election.
The development followed confirmation by the Secretary of the tribunal, Pefe Belemore, that petitions challenging the election outcome had been filed.
Belemore said, “The necessary notices would be displayed on the tribunal’s notice board before noon on Monday.”
The APC’s petition, marked EPT/OS/GOV/01/2026, was filed by its governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, who listed Adeleke, the Accord Party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as respondents.
The PDP’s petition, marked EPT/OS/GOV/02/2026, was filed by Adebayo Olugbenga Adedamola against Adeleke, INEC and the Accord Party.
Both parties are challenging the outcome of the election, which returned Adeleke for a second term as governor of Osun State.
The display of the petitions is expected to pave the way for the service of legal processes on the parties involved and the commencement of subsequent proceedings before the tribunal.
