In the declared results, APC candidate, who hails from Ekiti West Local Government, won in 15 local governments, while the governorship candidate, Bisi Kolawole, who hails from Efon-Alaye, won in one local government. The candidate of Social Democratic Party (SDP), Segun Oni, did not win in any of the local governments, including his Ido-Osi Local Government, though he is closely following the APC behind.
