Kayode Fayemi, Governor Ekiti State and Chairman, Governors' Forum
The All Progressives Congress candidate in the Ekiti State guber election, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has won the election held on Saturday polling 178,913 votes while Kolapo Olusola of the PDP polled 178,114 votes.
Fayemi won in 12 LGAs out of 16, winning the mandatory 25 percent of votes in two-third of the states. It was a close call in an election fraught with fraud, violence, open votes-buying.
