The candidate of the APC, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, in the Ondo state governorship election is coasting to victory winning in all the 13 local governments whose results were released Saturday by INEC.

The remaining results from the 5 LGAs will be announced Sunday morning, according to INEC.

Meanwhile, the Centre for Democracy and Development- West Africa (CDD-West Africa) has commended voters’ peaceful conduct in Saturday’s governorship election in Ondo State.

Prof. Victor Adetula, the Lead, CDD Observation Mission, Ondo 2024, stated this during the election analysis in Akure on Saturday

“ CDD commends voters in Ondo State for the calm and peaceful manner in which they have conducted all through this process so far,” Adetula said.

He alleged that there were reported cases of vote trading and inducement   during the voting process.

Adetula explained that the group observed presence of security agencies at all polling units contributing to crowd control, thereby minimising vote trading and open campaigning at the polling units.

According to him, the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machine was  effective and  used with exception of some cases.
