The Ekiti Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on Wednesday in Abuja admitted as exhibits , more electoral materials used in the July 14 governorship election in Ekiti State .
The materials were tendered by Prof . Olusola Kolapo , the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the election , through his counsel, Adeboyo Adelodun (SAN ) .
Adelodun said he would rely on the exhibits to prosecute his case .
The electoral materials admitted include receipts , logistics and reverse from Efon (10 wards) , Oye ( nine wards) and Ise Orun (three wards) local government areas .
The defence team had objected to the admissibility of the documents , stating that they were not pleaded in the petition , adding that some of the wards mentioned were not in contention .
Adelodun, in his response, said that he pleaded all the documents and certified true copies of the electoral materials attached to prove his case .
The counsel to Independent National Electoral Commission, Charles Uwensuyi ( SAN ), however , insisted that some of the documents tendered were not the Certified True Copies but would be addressed in the final address as agreed.
Justice Suleiman Belgore, chairman of the three - man tribunal, admitted the documents, saying that all objections should be reserved and incorporated in the final addresses of the defendants .
He also said that documents admitted as exhibits could still be expunged at the end , if the need arises.
Counsel to Governor Kayode Fayemi , Mr . Lateef Fagbemi , however , said that his objections were reserved for the final address .
The PDP and its candidate , Kolapo , had approached the tribunal, challenging the declaration of Fayemi of the All Progressives Congress as the winner of the July 14 election .
Hearing in the case continues on Thursday.
