#EkitiDecides2018: Fayemi wins Fayose’s local government

The candidate of the All progressives Congress (APC) in the Ekiti State governorship election, Kayode Fayemi, has emerged victorious in Irepodun-Ifelodun, the Local Government Area of incumbent Governor Ayodele Fayose.

Fayemi polled 13,869 votes while Kolapo Olusola-Eleka of the PDP had 11,456 votes.

Even though the PDP won in Fayose’s polling unit and ward, the votes in other wards swung the local government to the APC’s favour in what will be seen as a huge blow to Fayose who is the strongman of the party.

The local government has 11 wards. Results from each ward was collated at the headquarters of INEC located in Igede.
