The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are neck‑and‑neck in the governorship election results across 15 local government areas (LGAs) in Ogun State. Of the 15 LGAs declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, the APC won in eight—Odeda, Egbado‑North, Egbado‑South, Ewekoro, Ijebu‑North, Ijebu‑Ode, Ipokia, and Abeokuta‑North—while the PDP secured seven—Abeokuta‑South, Ogun Waterside, Ijebu‑North/East, Ikenne, Ijebu‑East, Remo‑North, and Odogbolu.
The PDP state collation agent, Sunkanmi Oyejide, has called for a rerun in several polling units where elections were cancelled, citing the large number of cancellations in Ikenne, Ogun Waterside, and Remo‑North due to BVAS (Bimodal Voters Accreditation System) machine failures and violence. In contrast, APC state collation agent Yemi Adelani disagreed, stating that the cancellations were justified given the circumstances and that a rerun was unnecessary.
