APC Dominates Fayose's Polling Unit in Ekiti Governorship Election
Governor Biodun Oyebanji of the All Progressives Congress (APC) recorded a commanding victory in the polling unit of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose during the ongoing governorship election. Results from the unit showed Oyebanji securing 448 votes, far ahead of his closest rivals. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) polled 37 votes, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) managed only four votes. The outcome is one of the most notable results released so far, given Fayose's status as a prominent PDP leader and former governor of the state.
Voting Patterns and Early Indicators
The result emerged as collation continued across Ekiti State, offering an early indication of voting patterns in key areas. The APC defeated both the ADC and PDP in the polling unit, with the PDP managing only four votes. This result contrasts with an earlier outcome from Ikere Local Government Area, where PDP governorship candidate Wole Oluyede secured victory in his own polling unit. As collation continues, the latest figures suggest strong support for the APC in parts of the state.
Oyebanji Expresses Confidence in Electoral Process
Earlier in the day, Governor Oyebanji expressed confidence in the electoral process after casting his vote and urged residents to remain patient over reported BVAS glitches in some polling units. The election has been closely watched, with voters across Ekiti heading to the polls to choose the state's next governor. Election officials are continuing the collation of votes from polling units and wards across Ekiti, while political parties await further results that will shape the final outcome of the governorship contest.
