Incumbent Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki sprung
into a commanding lead Sunday morning as the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) started to announce results of polls
conducted across the state on Saturday.
As expected by many, Obaseki’s closest challenger is the
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Pastor Osagie
Ize-Iyamu.
The results of 13 local governments have already been announced
by the electoral commission with Obaseki, candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party(PDP), clinching 11.
Results for five local governments are being awaited.
A quick summation of the votes awarded to Obaseki in 13 local
governments stood at 243,604, while Ize-Iyamu’s was 154,192.
