The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has concluded the governorship election in Nigeria's Ekiti state, alongside six legislative by-elections, as complaints of irregularities surface from opposition candidates.
The voting process took place across 2,445 polling units in 177 wards.
While the commission proceeded with the exercise, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate, Peter Obafemi, has raised allegations of irregularities during Saturday's polls.
Obafemi cited specific incidents, including the removal of campaign banners in the lead-up to the election, as evidence of procedural flaws.
President Bola Tinubu has hailed the victory of the re-elected governor, Oyebanji, urging opposition parties to rally around the outcome.
The divergent reactions highlight the contentious nature of the contest, with courts reportedly differing on the standing of various parties involved in the election.
