The All Progressives Congress (APC) appears to have rivalled its traditional rival, the Peoples Democratic Party, in Ekiti State as it has been declared winner in 23 Constituencies in the House of Assembly election held on Saturday.
A statement signed by Mr Temitope Akanmu, INEC’s Head, Voters Education and Publicity in Ekiti on Sunday, said the Social Democratic Party (SDP) won in two Constituencies while election in Ido-Osi constituency was declared inconclusive – with PDP having none yet.
Election in the affected constituency was said to have been disrupted by suspected hoodlums.
The commission hinted that supplementary election would be conducted in the affected constituency at a later date before a winner could be announced.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ekiti has 26 Constituencies across its 16 Local Government Areas.
