The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has secured victory in Oredo Local Government Area, bringing his total wins to 11 out of the 17 LGAs announced so far.
With only one LGA result pending, the APC candidate has significantly extended his lead, making it mathematically impossible for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo, to stage a comeback.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is expected to declare Okpebholo the winner of the Edo governorship election shortly.
- Okpebholo set to win Edo governorship, leads Ighodalo with 48,595 votes in 16 LGs
- PDP’s Ighodalo sweeps four LGAs in Edo Governorship Election
