Gov Election 2023: Ogun PDP, APC in tight race
The All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party are trailing each other in the governorship election results in 15 local government areas in Ogun State.
While APC won in eight local government areas, the PDP won in seven councils out of the 15 councils declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The APC won in Odeda, Egbado-North, Egbado-South, Ewekoro, Ijebu-North, Ijebu-Ode, Ipokia and Abeokuta-North.
The PDP won in Abeokuta-South, Ogun Waterside, Ijebu-North/East, Ikenne, Ijebu-East, Remo-North and Odogbolu.
Meanwhile, the PDP state collation agent, Sunkanmi Oyejide, has called for a rerun in some polling units where elections were cancelled.
Oyejide made the call while reacting to the huge number of polling units in Ikenne, Ogun Waterside and Remo-North where the election was cancelled due to the non-function of the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System machines and violence.
However, the APC state collation agent, Yemi Adelani, however disagreed with him, saying it was not necessary.
Adelani said the collation officer was right to have cancelled the votes due to the reasons given.
