The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State files a notice of withdrawal before the Election Petition Tribunal, seeking to withdraw its petition challenging Governor Ademola Adeleke’s re-election. Both outlets report that the move is tied to a “controversial” petition previously brought before the tribunal.
The reports indicate APC is taking procedural steps to end the challenge to Adeleke’s victory at the tribunal stage. Vanguard describes the earlier petition as controversial, while Punch frames the development more directly as an APC withdrawal of the case. Aside from this distinction in characterization, the core point is consistent: the APC withdraws its election petition against Adeleke’s win.
The decision shifts the tribunal matter out of the contested election results track for the APC’s side, though the coverage provided does not include details on whether other parties are continuing their petitions or any tribunal rulings following the withdrawal filing.
