#EdoDecides2024: Ighodalo, Okpebholo Maintain Lead In Strongholds As INEC Uploads Over 90% Results On IREV Portal
The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Asuerinme Ighodalo and his counterpart in the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Monday Okpebholo, are leading in their strongholds.
Observation of the results of Saturday’s governorship election so far uploaded on the IREV Portal of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Checks on the website at about 9pm revealed that over 94.4 per cent of the results have been uploaded, covering 4,266 results out of 4,519 polling units.
From the results, the PDP is maintaining its lead in Edo South. The party is also maintaining its lead in Akoko Edo Local Government Area, Edo North Senatorial District as well as a good performance in Owan West and Esatko West Local Government Areas.
Generally, the APC is maintaining a comfortable lead in Etsako East and Owan East Local Government Areas of Edo North.
In Edo Central Senatorial District, both the APC and the PDP are holding strong.
In all, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Barr. Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata, polled very low votes, signalling the preference of Edo people to ensure the next Governor at the Dennis Osadebey House is from Edo Central Senatorial District.
