The governorship election petition Tribunal has reached a decision on the petition filed by Pela Kennedy, who served as the Governorship Candidate for the Delta Labour Party.
Pela had filed a petition challenging the victory of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. However, the Tribunal has dismissed Pela’s petition based on the grounds that he failed to apply for pre-hearing notice/forms.

Although Ken Pela’s petition has been dismissed, the situation is not completely resolved for Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. Another challenge to his victory is still ongoing at the Tribunal.
Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the governorship candidate of the Delta All Progressives Congress, has filed a separate petition challenging Governor Oborevwori’s victory. This indicates that the legal battle surrounding the governorship election in Delta State is not yet concluded.
The challenge brought by Senator Ovie Omo-Agege adds further complexity to the political situation in Delta State. The outcome of this ongoing case will determine whether Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s victory stands or if there will be further legal proceedings or even a possible review of the election results.
