Tribunal sacks Osun lawmakers, calls for rerun
Salam, who is a member of Peoples Democratic Party , was removed by the tribunal on the grounds of electoral malpractices.
It cancelled results from certain units in four local government areas in the constituency and ordered a rerun election in those areas. In addition to that, the tribunal also declared the state assembly election in Obokun state constituency inconclusive, removing Adewumi Adeyemi, a member of the PDP, who was earlier declared winner of the poll, ordering a rerun in four units where elections were cancelled.
It, however, upheld the election of Mulikat Abiola, a member of the All Progressives Congress representing Ifelodun Federal constituency.
