The first election petition was stuck out on Friday by the governorship and House of Assembly election petition in Osun State.

Justice Thomas Naron, chairman of the tribunal struck out the petition filed by Olarotimi makinde of the Action Congress against the election of Albert Adeogun of the House of Representatives for lack of diligent prosecution.

Counsel to Makinde, the petitioner, Kunle Fagbile had informed the tribunal that he had an application for change of counsel before the tribunal and that the case file was in Lagos with another senior counsel.

He therefore sought an adjournment to enable the petitioner who was absent in court prepare adequately for the case.
