The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has uploaded 2,086 results out of 2,445 polling units on its Result Viewing Portal (IReV) as of 7:23 p.m. on Saturday.

Mr Oyebanji’s opponents are Oluwole Oluyede of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Oluwadare Bejide of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Oyebanji Olajuyin of the Labour Party and Blessing Abegunde of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
Others in the race are Samuel Akande (AAC), Ayodeji Ojo (ADP), Opeyemi Felegan (Accord), Joseph Anifowose (APM), Bidemi Awogbemi (APP), Olaniyi Ayodele (PRP) and Victor Adetunji (ZLP).
