Announcing the results on Sunday afternoon, INEC’s Returning Officer, Joseph Afuwape, said Ademola Adeleke, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Polled 254,699, while his closest challenger, Isiaka Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had 254,345 votes.
Iyiola Omisore of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) polled 128,049 votes to place a distant third.
However, Afuwape said that since the difference between the two leading parties was just 353 votes but the number of cancelled votes was 3,5498, no winner had emerged.
