The Independent National Electoral Commission on Sunday declared the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Godwin Obaseki, winner of Saturday’s governorship election in Edo State.
INEC’s Returning Officer, Prof Akpofure Rim-Rukeh, announced the total result of the election.

Total votes cast was 550,242 out of which 12,835 was rejected.
Obaseki was elected on the APC platform in 2016 but defected to the PDP after being denied the ticket to run for a second term owing to intra-party squabbles.
Meanwhile, the APC agent for the election refused to sign the final result sheet when called upon by Prof Rim-Rukeh.
