Osun Tribunal: Electoral Act Dictates That There Should Be A Re-run. by kay1one(m): 4:05pm On Jan 27, 2023
51.—(1) No voter shall vote for more than one candidate or record more than one vote in favour of any candidate at any one election. (2) Where the number of votes cast at an election in any polling unit exceeds the number of accredited voters in that polling unit, the Presiding officer shall cancel the result of the election in that polling unit. (3) Where the result of an election is cancelled in accordance with subsection (2), there shall be no return for the election until another poll has taken place in the affected polling unit.
(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (2) and (3) the Commission may, if satisfied that the result of the election will not substantially be affected by voting in the area where the election is cancelled, direct that a return of the election be made.

Since this areas of over voting and the cancellation subsequently affects the overall outcome of the election, a re run should be conducted.
