The Independent National Electoral Commission has declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mrs Tolulope Akande-Sadipe has the winner of Saturday’s supplementary election for the Oluyole Federal constituency of Oyo state.
Akande-Sadipe, who currently represents Oluyole federal constituency in the House of Representatives was declared winner by the returning officer, Professor Olaniyi Babayemi.
Professor Babayemi said Mrs Akande-Sadipe polled fourteen thousand, eight hundred and ninety-one votes to defeat her closet rival, Mr Olawale Mogbonjubola of the People’s DemocraPartyarty PDP who had thirteen thousand and seventy-three votes.
It would be recalled that the Oluyole federal constituency election was declared inconclusive last month following some irregularities during the election after reports of violence and destruction of ballot papers in some polling units.
