An erstwhile member of the Action Alliance (AA), Mr Kenneth Udeze was on Wednesday arraigned before an Osun State Magistrate court sitting in Osogbo, the state capital.
Udeze was arraigned alongside Messrs James Vernimbe James and Adeloye Ogunmodede.
The trio are standing trial for alleged forgery and conspiracy.
The suspects were alleged to have substituted the name of Adekunle Rufai Omoaje who emerged as the governorship candidate of the party in the state in 2018.
The court had earlier ordered the three accused persons to be remanded in Ilesa correctional facility.
At the resumed hearing of the case yesterday, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Police were cross-examined.
