By Ahmed Olayinka

Chiarman, Kwara State Electoral Commission (KWASIEC), Muhammad Baba Okanla has announced the ruling party APC as the winner of the local government election held on Saturday.

This was contained in a press statement made available Sunday morning.

Firstly, I’d like to express our heartfelt appreciation for your tireless efforts and commitment to factual reporting. Your professionalism has been instrumental in ensuring the transparency and credibility of our electoral process.

The electoral process, which unfolded across the state’s 16 Local Government Areas and 193 wards, witnessed the participation of five political parties: APC, APM, PDP, SDP, and Accord. Our electoral officers and returning officers from the field have filed their results and I’m pleased to share the outcomes with you.

After meticulous collation and verification, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has emerged victorious in all categories. Specifically, the APC has won all 16 Local Government Area chairmanship positions. The party has also secured all 193 councilorship seats.

We commend political parties for their commitment to a peaceful election, which did not record any major casualty and the people of Kwara State for trooping out en masse to exercise their civic rights. We also like to appreciate security agencies for ensuring peace and orderliness throughout the voting process in a professional manner.
