Adeleke leads in 19 LGAs

Adeleke secured victories in several of the state’s major LGAs, including Ede North, Ede South, Osogbo, Ife East, Ife Central, Iwo, Ifelodun, Oriade and Egbedore. 

Oyebamiji, meanwhile, won 11 LGAs, including Ilesa East, Boripe, Irepodun, Obokun, Atakumosa West, Irewole, Atakumosa East, Isokan, Olaoluwa, Ife South and Olorunda.

The result gives Adeleke a clear advantage in the number of LGAs won, although the final outcome depends on the official declaration by the INEC Returning Officer.

INEC’s collation was still underway as of Sunday morning, with reports confirming that results from all 30 LGAs were being collated at the state level.

The electoral commission had also uploaded the majority of polling-unit results to its Result Viewing Portal, with the process nearing completion.
