The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday has declared the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Seyi Makinde, the winner of gubernatorial election in Oyo state.
Makinde defeated his challengers including Labour Party (LP)’s Akinwale Tayo as well as a serving senator, Teslim Folarin of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was successfully re-elected in the election which took place on Saturday.
Makinde defeated Teslim Folarin of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Adebayo Adelabu of the Accord Party to win the election.
Of the 28 states, 11 serving governors including Makinde sought reelection while 17 outgoing governors are in the final weeks of their constitutional two-term limits of eight years, having been sworn in on May 29, 2015.
Makinde is the last of the PDP G5 or Integrity Group with an election. Already, Governors Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) and Samuel Ortom (Benue), who have been in office for eight years each, all lost their senatorial bid while Nyesom Wike (Rivers) who is also completing his second term as Governor didn’t run for any elective post.
With the defeat of three of his comrades, all eyes were on Makinde in the March 18 poll. With his declaration as the winner by INEC, Makinde survived the defeat suffered by other G5 members.
Below is the breakdown of total votes garnered by only the APC and PDP candidates across the 33 Local Government Areas of the state.
