The candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the governorship election in Ondo State, Hon. Festus Akingbaso has delivered his Polling Unit 8, Ward 2, Alade Okun, Alade-Idanre for his principal, Agboola Ajayi.
Akingbaso delivered the unit with a landslide victory, scoring 187 votes to the All Progressives Congress (APC) 46 votes.
The Labour Party (LP), the Action Alliance (AA) and the PLP got one vote each at the unit.
The unit’s votes were counted amid fears that the community was surrounded by hoodlums reportedly determined to carry the ballot box away.
It took the intervention of armed roving policemen who fired several shits in the air to scare the alleged hoodlums away.
The patrolling policemen were prevailed upon to remain at the unit throughout the sorting and collation of votes.
