Gov’s 366, 781 votes highest garnered by any candidate in history of the State
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday officially declared Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa as the governor-elect following Saturday’s gubernatorial election in Ondo State.
Governor Aiyedatiwa achieved a resounding victory by winning in all 18 local government areas of the state, a feat that has never been achieved in any governorship election in the State.
The Governor, who was the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), defeated his closest rival, Mr Agboola Ajayi of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), securing 366,781 votes to Ajayi’s 117,845.
The 366, 781 votes garnered by the Governor is also the highest number of votes scored by any governorship candidate in the history of the State.
Addressing journalists at the Government House in Akure shortly after the announcement, an elated Governor Aiyedatiwa described his victory as a triumph for democracy, unity, and progress of the State.
