The Ekiti State Election Petitions Tribunal has upheld the victory of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Biodun Oyebanji, in the June 18 gubernatorial election in the state.
The petitioner, Segun Oni, a former governor and candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), had challenged the election victory of Governor Oyebanji.
