Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State and a candidate for the All Progressives Congress, won 18 of the state’s 20 local government areas (LGAs) in the recent governorship and state House of Assembly elections.
The Independent National Electoral Commission made the results public on Sunday at its state tallying center in Yaba, Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu, who is running for re-election, is running against Olajide Oladiran, who is running for the Peoples Democratic Party, and Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, who is running for the Labour Party.
Lagos Island, Epe, Agege, Ibeju-lekki, Surulere, Ikeja, Mushin, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Apapa, Ifako-Ijaiye, Badagry, and Lagos Mainland all gave the most votes to the governor who is already in office.
Other LGAs where Sanwo-Olu won were Alimosho, Ojo, Ikorodu, Kosofe, Oshodi-Isolo, and Amuwo-Odofin.
However, his opponent, Rhodes-Vivour, defeated the ruling party in Amuwo-Odofin.
The only result left is from Eti-Osa LGA which is yet to be released due to the election currently being held at the Victoria Garden City polling units.
