Following the 2023 Edo State House of Assembly elections, election petitions were filed regarding the Ovia South-West constituency result. On 22 December 2023, the Court of Appeal sitting in Benin City, in suit CA/B/EP/SHA/ED/17/2023, affirmed Aghedo's election victory over Destiny Enabulele of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In February 2024, the Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Blessing Agbebaku, administered the oath of office to Aghedo as the member representing Ovia South-West constituency.

In April 2026, Aghedo declared his intention to seek re-election for the Ovia South-West seat in the 2027 state assembly elections.
