In a significant political development, the governorship candidate from the All Progressives Congress (APC), Monday Okpebholo, has been declared the winner of the Edo State governorship election held on September 21, 2024.

This election was a pivotal event, featuring a diverse field of 17 candidates vying for the prestigious position at the Dennis Osadebay House in Benin City.

The electoral process unfolded across a total of 4,519 polling units spanning the 18 local government areas of Edo State, reflecting a comprehensive engagement of the electorate.

Okpebholo’s campaign garnered notable backing, particularly from influential figures such as former governor Adams Oshiomhole, who currently serves as a lawmaker representing the Edo North senatorial district.

This support likely played a crucial role in bolstering Okpebholo’s presence and visibility during the election.

His success across these regions indicates a broad base of support that will likely influence the political landscape in Edo State moving forward.
