As counting and sorting of votes continues in the 57 LGAs and LCDs that made up Lagos State on Saturday, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken the lead.
Voter attendance was shockingly low in several polling places, even if the exercise was mostly nonviolent.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu spoke to reporters shortly after casting his ballot at the Adeniji-Adele area polling place.
He admitted that there were some early logistical problems that caused some locations to have a delayed start to the procedure, and he blamed movement limits for those problems.
The APC was clearly leading in a number of locations as of 4:00 pm, according to unofficial reports from different polling units; this included Sanwo-Olu’s own polling unit 006 at St. Stevens Nursery and Primary School in Adeniji-Adele.
Yaba, Somolu, Bariga, Ikeja, and Agege are some of the other strongholds where the ruling party demonstrated control.
As of now, the preliminary results from these places show that the APC has a commanding lead in the chairmanship and councillorship competitions, with the PDP in second position and the LP in third place.
When the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) finishes tallying votes, they will likely release the final tally.
