The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in yesterday’s governorship election in Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, was the clear winner in Governor Ayodele Fayose’s Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area, where many had expected Professor Eleka of the PDP to have a walk over.
Fayemi polled 13,869 against Fayose’s anointed candidate’s 11,456 votes.
However, Eleka won in Fayose’s polling unit and ward which was not enough to secure victory for his party in the local government area.
The local government has 11 wards. Result from each ward was collated at the headquarters of INEC situated in Igede.
A total of 66,162 voters are registered in the local government while 27,306 were accredited.
Of the 27,211 votes cast, 25,849 were valid while 1362 were rejected.
Only party agents of APC and PDP present at the centre signed the result at 11:06p.m.
