In a surprising turn of events, Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate, Olumide Akpata, suffered a defeat in his own polling unit, Polling Unit 11, Oredo Ward 06.
The official results reveal:
– PDP’s Asuenime Ighodalo secured 41 votes
– LP’s Olumide Akpata garnered 32 votes
– APC’s Monday Okpebholo trailed with 19 votes
Akpata’s loss in his home turf may indicate a challenging road ahead for the Labour Party in the Edo State governorship election. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) appears to have gained significant traction in this key polling unit.
As the election unfolds, attention will focus on how these local results impact the broader state-wide outcome. Will Akpata’s party rally support from other areas, or will PDP’s momentum continue?
The outcome remains uncertain, leaving political analysts and voters eagerly awaiting further updates.
