The 2024 Edo Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal has postponed proceedings until January 13.
The case, filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the victory of Gov. Monday Okpebholo, contests his win in the September 21 election.
Okpebholo, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), received 291,667 votes, while PDP’s candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, garnered 247,274 votes.
During a recent session, the tribunal adopted a pre-hearing report that set the stage for witness testimony.
A total of 290 witnesses are expected to be called by both parties, with specific time allocations for questioning.
The petitioners will have 21 days to present their witnesses, while respondents will have 10 days each.
The tribunal will convene daily at 10 a.m., excluding Sundays and public holidays.
