OYSIEC declares PDP winner in 32 councils as Oyo holds local government elections

The Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC) on Sunday declared candidates of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winners of the just concluded local government election in 32 local government areas of the state.

The election took place in 33 local government areas on Saturday.

The Commission also rescheduled the election held in Ido local government area of the state.

The election, which will now hold on May 26, 2021, was rescheduled over the omission of the Zenith Labour Party’s logo on the ballot papers.
