The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) trails behind in second place.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has made a clean sweep in Ondo State's governorship election, winning all 18 local government areas, according to the results announced at the state collation center.
This is a significant victory for the party, covering the entire state.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) released results from 13 LGAs on Saturday and added two more on Sunday morning. Then on Sunday afternoon, it announced results from the three remaining local government areas.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) trails behind in second place.
State Returning Officer, Professor Olayemi Durotimi Akinwunmi of the Federal University Lokoja, resumed from recess around 12.30 pm to commence the announcement of results from the remaining three local government areas – Odigbo, Ilaje and Ese Odo.
Earlier, it was noted that the temporary recess was necessary to await the arrival of results from the remaining LGAs, which are located farther away from Akure, the state capital.
The 15 LGAs earlier declared were Ifedore, Ondo East, Ileoluji Oke-Igbo, Idanre, Irele, Akoko South West, Owo, Ondo West, Akoko South East, Akoko North West, Ose, Akoko North East, Akure South, Akure North, and Okitipupa. The remaining three LGAs yet to be collated are Ilaje, Odigbo, and Ese Odo.
The PDP's agent for Idanre Local Government Area earlier raised serious concerns, alleging widespread irregularities, including vote buying and ballot box snatching.
Furthermore, the agent claimed that voting didn't take place in some areas of Idanre. Citing these grievances, the agent formally requested that the results from Idanre be nullified.
