The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, the winner of Saturday’s governorship election. Makinde secured 563,756 votes, defeating his closest rival, Teslim Folarin of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who received 256,685 votes. Adebayo Adelabu of the Accord Party trailed with 38,357 votes. “Makinde Oluseyi, having satisfied the requirement of the law, is declared winner of the poll,” state Returning Officer Olusola Kehinde announced.
Makinde won in 31 of the state’s 33 local government areas (LGAs). Folarin managed to win only two LGAs—Irepo and Ore‑Lọpe. The incumbent governor, seeking re‑election, faced Folarin, a three‑term senator, and Adelabu, a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
