SaharaReporters had reported that results of the ongoing governorship election in Ondo State had started to trickle in.
INEC is expected to announce a winner for the election after completion of all collation processes and exercises.
Already the PDP candidate, Agboola Ajayi, had alleged bias in the conduct of the election.
He had expressed concerns over the electoral process after casting his vote at Apoi Ward 11, Unit 004 in Ese-Odo Local Government Area.
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Lucky Aiyedatiwa had won his polling unit in his bid to secure a full-term election.
SaharaReporters earlier reported how the APC flag bearer voted at his polling unit 005, Ward 4, Obenla, in the Ilaje Local Government Area.
It was learnt that he eventually won the polling units with the highest votes cast.
He scored 128 votes while his closest rival, Agboola Ajayi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), scoring three votes.

Ajayi who had earlier voiced his disappointment with the electoral process after casting his vote at Apoi Ward 02, Unit 004 in Kiribo, Ese Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State scored 194 votes out of 204 accredited votes.
Ajayi had expressed frustration with the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) malfunctioning, which delayed his accreditation for about 10 minutes.
He had stated, “The system has been compromised. It is sad INEC can’t conduct election well in one state.”
The criticism suggests that Ajayi doubts the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) ability to ensure a fair and smooth electoral process.
The PDP candidate’s dissatisfaction had echoed earlier complaints from his party about BVAS malfunctions and potential bias from INEC officials, particularly the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Barrister Olatoyin Babalola.
Ajayi had questioned the REC’s impartiality, saying, “We have said it severally that we don’t trust Barrister Olatoyin Babalola, that this woman can’t be fair.”

The incident was said to have taken place at Ofosu village, in ldanre council area of Ondo state.
