Senator Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was declared the winner of the just concluded Edo state governorship election, which was held on Saturday, September 21.

According to INEC, the APC candidate polled 291,667 votes, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo, came second with 247,274 votes. Meanwhile, Labour Party’s Olumide Akpata emerged third with 22,763 votes.

According to the election result announced by INEC and monitored by TheTalk.NG, the APC won eleven local government areas in the state, while the PDP won seven of the councils.

The PDP, which won 28 governorship seats at its height in 1999, boasted of controlling the country for 60 unbroken years, but losing Edo state has reduced the leading opposition states to 12 once Okpebholo is sworn in on November 12, 2024.

On the other hand, the APC will not control 21 states. The party is getting closer to its best outing in 2015 when it controlled 22 states after the general elections.

Below is how the PDP and the APC now stand in terms of the state under their control following the outcome of the Edo state governorship election.
