APC Candidate, Faduyile, Wins Ondo South Senatorial Bye Election
It’s double celebration for the All Progressives Congress APC as its candidate for Ondo South Senatorial District bye-election Prof Adedayo Faduyile, was declared victorious in the Ondo South Senatorial District bye-election held on Saturday, securing a decisive mandate from voters across the district’s six local government areas.
His victory is coming after that of Ekiti state APC Governorship candidate, Biodun Oyebanji.
The Returning Officer for the election, Prof Gbenga Ibileye, officially declared Faduyile the winner at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) collation centre in Okitipupa, Ondo State, after the completion of the collation of results from all participating local government areas.
According to the final results announced by the Returning Officer, the APC candidate polled a total of 68,474 votes, defeating candidates of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Action Peoples Party (APP), and the Boot Party.
Faduyile, a former National President of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) and currently the Special Adviser on Health Matters to Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, ran a campaign focused on quality representation, healthcare development, youth empowerment, and infrastructural advancement across the senatorial district.
His victory is seen as a major boost for the ruling APC in Ondo State, further strengthening the party’s political dominance in the state’s southern senatorial zone.
The bye-election was conducted to fill the vacant Ondo South Senatorial seat in the National Assembly, following appointment of Jimoh Ibrahim as UN Representative by President Bola Tinubu.
The poll witnessed the deployment of security personnel and electoral officials across the district to ensure a peaceful and credible voting process.
Political stakeholders, party agents, election observers, and supporters gathered at the collation centre as the final results were announced, with jubilation erupting among APC supporters following the declared winner.
The People’s Democratic Party PDP, African Democratic Congress ADC and others had boycotted the poll.
