With 1,190 votes secured in the primary election, Kolapo Olusola, deputy governor of Ekiti state, has won the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the July 14 governorship election.
Olusola, the incumbent deputy governor of Ekiti, is the preferred aspirant of Ayodele Fayose, governor of the state.
The exercise was peaceful all through.
Voting ended at 5:05pm and the committee chaired by Ifeanyi Okowa, governor of Delta state, gave the aspirants the opportunity to comment about the poll before collation began.
Both aspirants expressed satisfaction with the exercise.
There was tension in the hall when the ballot papers were sorted in two different baskets and the difference between the two aspirants appeared insignificant.
As agents had their eyes fixed on the baskets, supporters moved from one end of the hall to the other.
