Ekiti2023: APC Wins 23 House of Assembly Seats, SDP Wins Two [Full List]
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has won 23 out of 26 House of Assembly seat in Ekiti State.
INEC also declared two Social Democratic Party candidates winners while the remaining state constituency was declared inconclusive.
Prof Ayobami Salami, INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Ekiti State said, “The election at Ido/Osi State Constituency 1 is inconclusive. This is due to the fact that the margin of lead principle indicated a need for supplementary elections to be held in three polling units before a clear winner could emerge.”
