A Labour Party candidate for the Edo State House of Assembly election, Derrick Uhunmwago has written a petition against the election tribunal that upheld his loss in the March election before the National Judicial Council. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Osawaru Irobosa of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner after the election held on March 18, 2023, and the supplementary poll held on April 15, about a month later.
The petition says the Labour Party candidate won the Edo State constituency election convincingly at the end of the first round, which he said was unjustifiably declared inconclusive.
