Ondo poll: Aiyedatiwa sets to be declared winner as APC clears all 18 LGAs
Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo state, who is also the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Saturday’s off-cycle election, has garnered the highest votes by winning in all the state’s 18 local government areas.
The Informant247 reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had earlier declared the APC winner in 15 local governments but postponed the results announcement in the remaining three local government areas.
However, the State Returning Officer for the INEC in the election, who is also the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State, Prof. Olayemi Akinwumi, has now announced the results of the remaining three local government areas, with the APC winning in all of them.
Although the winner has not been officially declared at the time of this report, a PREMIUM TIMES tally shows that the APC candidate and incumbent governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, secured about 366,781 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Agboola Ajayi, of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who polled 117,895.
