The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has begun the collation of election results from the 20 Local Government Areas in Lagos state. As of now, the incumbent Governor and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is reportedly leading in the race for the governorship seat.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner, Olusegun Agbaje, has reported that 16 results are currently available at the collation centre in Yaba, while the remaining four are awaited. The election features a contest between three candidates, including the aforementioned Sanwo-Olu, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party, and Adediran Abdul-Azeez (Jandor) of the Peoples Democratic Party.
According to the results announced so far, Sanwo-Olu has emerged victorious in several Local Government Areas, including Lagos Island, Apapa, Epe, Agege, Ajeromi Ifelodun, Ikeja, Mushin, Surulere, Ibeju-Lekki, Ifako-Ijaiye, Badagry, Lagos Mainland, Alimosho, Ojo, Ikorodu, Kosofe, and Oshodi Isolo. The APC candidate has garnered substantial leads in these areas, while his opponents have trailed behind. The remaining four Local Government Areas are yet to announce their results, and it remains to be seen whether Sanwo-Olu will maintain his lead and emerge victorious in the election.
