Also, the candidate of APC in Ede North/Ede South/Egbedore/Ejigbo federal constituency, Hon. Adejare Bello, challenged the victory of Mr Bamidele Salam of the PDP.
While Oke polled 25,329 to defeat the candidate of APC, Olamiju, who polled 19,725, Salam scored 46,944 against 44,866 scored by former speaker of the Osun state House of Assembly and candidate of APC, Bello.
The Secretary of the tribunal, Mr. Akubue Okechukwu, said the tribunal has not received any petition against the Senatorial election.
