In a surprising turn of events, Olumide Akpata, the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate, has suffered a defeat in his own polling unit in the ongoing Edo State election.

Akpata, who described his voting experience as “seamless,” saw the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo, emerge victorious with 41 votes.

Akpata secured 31 votes, closely followed by Senator Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) with 19 votes. This outcome has sparked interest, as all three candidates are considered front-runners for the top spot in Edo State.
