The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Thursday upheld the election of Governor Monday Okpebholo as the duly elected winner of the September 21, 2024, Edo State governorship poll conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The decision was delivered by Justice Mohammed Danjuma in a judgment on the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Asue Ighodalo.
