Godwin Obaseki of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been declared the governor elect of Edo state, following the conclusion of electoral proceedings
Godwin Obaseki has been declared winner of the Edo state election 2016.
Nineteen candidates vied for the ticket to the Government House, however, the main contest was seen between Godwin Obaseki of the APC and Andrew Ize-Iyamu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
There was a heightened sense of suspense in Benin, even as final analysis of collations for the Edo election was ongoing
According to statistics, the All Progressives Congress comes up top with a difference of 66,310 votes, however, some analysts raised fears that the election might take a new dimension if the number of votes rejected across the LGAs becomes a thing to take into consideration.
In a final announcement by Professor Kayode Soremekun the returning officer, the APC had 319,483 while the PDP had 253,173. Professor Soremekun further informed that the total valid votes was 582,299, with total votes cast at 613,244 and rejected votes at 30,945.
Analysis shows that with the situation within 17 out of 18 LGAs announced, Obaseki will eventually come tops, even if he get ‘0’ in Ovia South-West, which is not theoretically possible, as the gap is already 62,300 votes. The official report by INEC is still awaited, and will be announce shortly. With one more local government to go, APC has 306, 663 while PDP has 244363.
