The All Progressives Congress (APC) has emerged victorious in Oredo Local Government Area (LGA) in the Edo State gubernatorial election, defeating the incumbent People’s Democratic Party (PDP) led by Governor Godwin Obaseki. The results from the key local government area show a significant win for the APC, as it secured 30,780 votes, while the PDP trailed with 24,938 votes, and the Labour Party (LP) garnered 5,389 votes.
The result in Oredo LGA is particularly notable because it is Governor Obaseki’s home base and a traditional stronghold for the PDP. The APC’s victory in this area underscores the highly competitive nature of the Edo governorship race, which has been marked by a tense battle for control between the PDP and APC, with the Labour Party also attempting to make inroads.
