ASABA \u2013 LEGAL battle in the petition by the Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, governorship candidate during the April 26, gubernatorial poll is expected to commence today at the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Asaba.<\/p>\n

Chief Great Ogboru\u2019s petition is among five others filed in connection with the governorship election in the state.<\/p>\n

They include those by Prince Obaro Unuafe,\u00a0 Peoples Progressive Party, PPP; Chief Afro Biukeme,\u00a0 Mega Progressive Peoples Party, MPPP; Chief Sam Nkire,\u00a0 Progressive Peoples Alliance, PPA, and Collins Eselemo, National Conscience Party, NCP.<\/p>\n

In all, 48 petitions were received by the Governorship, National and State Houses of Assembly tribunal in the state.<\/p>\n

Secretary to the Tribunal, Mrs. Deborah Musa, who spoke on the number of petitions,\u00a0 said five were received for the Senate\u00a0 election, 12 for House of Representatives and 26 received over the state House of Assembly election.<\/p>\n

Ogboru, in the petition, is argued that\u00a0 \u201cby the lawful votes cast at the election to the office of Governor of Delta State held on\u00a0 April 26, 2011, I (Ogboru) ought to have been returned and should be returned as the duly elected governor of Delta State.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan of the ruling Peoples Democratic party, PDP,\u00a0 was declared\u00a0 the winner of the governorship poll by polling a total of 525,793 votes to beat his closest rival, Chief Ogboru, who scored 433,834 votes.<\/p>\n

There are two election petitions tribunals in the state, while one is saddled with that of the governorship poll, the other is handling the National and State\u00a0 Houses of Assembly petitions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
