Who is the Leader in Edo State Governorship Election?

*According to the results declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has emerged as the winner of the Edo State governorship election. He defeated his main rival, Mr. Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), by a margin of over 100,000 votes.
The election was keenly contested and there were allegations of irregularities and manipulation by both parties. However, INEC has declared the results to be free and fair, and has congratulated Mr. Obaseki on his victory.
Mr. Obaseki's victory marks a significant victory for the PDP, which has been struggling to maintain its grip on power in the state. It also represents a setback for the APC, which had hoped to gain control of the state after 12 years of PDP rule.
The election was closely watched by both national and international observers, who have praised INEC for conducting a free and fair election. However, the results have been met with mixed reactions from the candidates and their supporters.
Mr. Obaseki has pledged to work for the people of Edo State and to improve their lives. He has also called on his opponents to join him in building a better future for the state.
The APC has not yet conceded defeat and has vowed to challenge the results in court. The party is alleging that there were widespread irregularities in the election and that the results were manipulated in favor of the PDP.
The Edo State governorship election has been a closely contested and controversial affair. The results have been declared by INEC, but the APC has vowed to challenge them in court. It remains to be seen how the court will rule and whether the results will stand.
