The All Progressives Congress (APC) has won all 18 chairmanship seats and the 192 councillorship positions contested in Saturday’s local government election in Edo State.
The chairman of the Edo State Independent Electoral Commission (EDSIEC), Mr. Jonathan Aifuobhokhan, announced the results today
Mr.. Aifuobhokhan said the APC emerged victorious in all the local government areas and wards where elections were held.
The EDSIEC chairman said accreditation, voting, sorting, counting, collation and declaration of results were conducted in accordance with the Edo State Local Government Electoral Law, 2022, as amended in 2026, and other applicable regulations.
His words: “Following the completion of the collation process at the various ward and local government collation centres, the duly appointed ward and local government returning officers announced and declared the results in their respective jurisdictions.
“Based on the official results declared by the returning officers, the commission hereby declares that the APC won the 18 local government chairmanship seats and all the 192 councillorship positions contested in the election.”
Aifuobhokhan said the returning officers discharged their duties professionally, impartially and in line with the law, adding that although there were minor operational challenges in a few locations, they did not significantly affect the overall conduct or outcome of the election.
The EDSIEC chairman commended political parties, candidates, traditional rulers, religious leaders, civil society organisations, community leaders, youth and women groups, as well as voters, for their peaceful conduct during the exercise.
