The results were read out by Local Government Collation Officers before Professor Joshua Ogunwole as the collation process from Saturday’s election continued.

Adeleke, who is seeking re-election on the Accord Party platform, claimed victories in Ede South, Ife North, Ilesa West, Ifedayo, Ife Central, Orolu, Osogbo, Ori-Ade, Odo-Otin, Ife East, and Ifelodun — a total of 11 announced areas in addition to one further local government, bringing his tally to 12.
Where AMBO won
The APC candidate secured wins in Boluwaduro, Ilesa East, Irepodun, Obokun, and Atakunmosa West, giving him five local government areas as collation continued across the state.
Collation was still ongoing at the time of reporting, with a number of local government areas yet to be declared by the appropriate officers.
