The Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has won 23 out of the 26 assembly seats in the state.
This development emanated from the results of the House of Assembly elections announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC),
The Informant247 recalls that there were elections to occupy the twenty six (26) state assembly seats in the state on Saturday March 18, 2023.
According to the official results released so far by the INEC, the ruling APC won 23 seats, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) had 2 seats and one seat declared inconclusive.
The electoral commission’s head of voter education and publicity, in the state, Tope Akanmu said, ” This is due to the fact that the margin of the lead principle indicated a need for supplementary elections to be held in three Polling Units before a clear winner could emerge. This was born out of violent disruption of the voting process in three polling units of PU 003, PU 012, and PU 014, all in Registration Area (Ward) 01.”
