The Independent National Electoral Commission has declared Ademola Adeleke Nurudeen Jackson as the PDP candidate for the upcoming July 16 Osun State Gubernatorial election.
An Osun State High Court sitting in Ijebu-Jesa had restrained Peoples Democratic Party and the Independent National Electoral Commission from recognising any other governorship candidate, except the one elected by the 215 ward executives elected on September 25, 2021.
The court also granted an interim order affirming 215 delegates elected on September 25, 2021, as the authentic delegates.
The mandatory injunction dated 10th March 2022 and obtained on Friday, was sequel to a motion ex parte filed on behalf of Adedokun Ademola and 29 others by his counsel, Edmund Biriomoni.
Adeleke and Babayemi emerged at parallel primaries of the PDP held at Osogbo city stadium and WOCDIF Center respectively on March 8, 2022.
The soul of the party has been subjected to different legal scrutiny and a suit is currently at the Court of Appeal in Akure, Ondo State.
