The Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission (OGSIEC) has declared the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of all Chairmanship and Councilorship seats in the 2024 Local Government elections held across the state.
OGSIEC Chairman, Mr. Babatunde Osibodu, announced the results today during a live broadcast from the Commission’s headquarters in Oke-Ilewo, Abeokuta. According to Osibodu, the APC triumphed in all 20 Local Government Areas and 236 wards of the state, securing a landslide victory in the polls.
A total of 613,156 votes were cast in the Chairmanship elections, which saw participation from 19 political parties, including the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and the Social Democratic Party (SDP). Despite the diverse representation, the APC dominated the elections.
Mr. Osibodu commended the voters for their peaceful conduct during the elections, emphasizing the importance of democratic participation at the grassroots level.
“The smooth conduct of these elections underscores the commitment of Ogun State to democracy and good governance. We appreciate the efforts of all stakeholders in ensuring a credible process,” he said.
The victory further consolidates the APC’s dominance in Ogun State politics, solidifying its control of local governance structures. Observers have noted that the results could influence the political landscape in the state ahead of the next general elections.
With all chairmanship and councilorship positions secured, the APC has vowed to deliver on its promises of development and grassroots empowerment in the coming tenure.
