Voter turnout in some LGAs was described as impressive, while low turnout was reported in other areas. PREMIUM TIMES correspondents on the ground also reported several cases of vote trading at polling units across the state.
Fifteen political parties are on the ballot for the election. However, results from polling units so far indicate that the contest is largely a two-horse race between the Accord Party candidate, Ademola Adeleke, the incumbent governor, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Oyebamiji.
