LIVE UPDATES: Ekiti Election 2022- Ekiti Election

Below you will find live updates on the Ekiti election of 2022 as well as the results of the Ekiti election.

The Ekiti governorship election is taking place today, Saturday, June 18, 2022, in Ekiti State, southwest Nigeria, according to Touchaheart.

In terms of political parties contesting the Ekiti election 2022, this online news outlet believes that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s largest opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) are the primary candidates.

Biodun Oyebanji is the candidate of the ruling APC, Olabisi Kolawole is the candidate of the PDP, and Segun Oni, who was rumored to have stepped down for the PDP, is the candidate of the SDP.

Although political analysts have characterized the Ekiti election of 2022 as a three-horse race, other political parties such as the Young Progressives Party (YPP) and its candidate, Ranti Ajayi; the African Democratic Congress (ADC), represented by Oluwole Oluyede; and the Action Democratic Party (ADP), represented by Kemi Elebute Halle, cannot be dismissed.

According to Touchaheart Nigeria, all of the governorship candidates are vying to succeed Kayode Fayemi, the state’s executive governor, and fought it out in a discussion held in Ado-Ekiti last Saturday, when they laid out their ideas and objectives to the people of the state.
