Wole Oluyede, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate for governor of Ekiti State, has expressed unhappiness with the election’s conduct at Ugele/Arokun Ward in Ikere Local Government.
Oluyede told reporters shortly after casting his ballot at Polling Unit 006, Ugele/Arokun Ward, that many voters in his polling unit had yet to vote due to issues with the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, or BVAS.
He claimed there was voter harassment and intimidation in the ward.
But he expressed confidence that he would win the governorship election.
Several elderly voters arrived at the polling station early to vote.
The election is widely regarded as a duel between Oluyede and the incumbent governor, Biodun Oyebanji of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Meanwhile, Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of Ayo Fayose, the state’s former governor, had previously accused vote tampering throughout the state.
