The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has achieved a significant milestone by winning the polling unit of Oludime Akpata, the gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party (LP), during today's elections in Edo State. This victory underscores the growing support for the PDP and its candidate, Asue Ighodalo, as the party aims to continue its governance in the state.
The PDP's triumph at Akpata's polling unit is seen as a pivotal moment in the ongoing gubernatorial election, reflecting a broader trend of voter alignment with Ighodalo's vision for Edo State. The party has been actively campaigning on a platform focused on development, youth empowerment, and economic growth.
"We are thrilled with this outcome," stated Ighodalo. "This win is not just a victory for the PDP but for all citizens of Edo State who desire progress and continuity in governance. Our campaign has resonated with the people, and we are committed to delivering on our promises."
The PDP has reported strong turnout across various polling units, bolstered by recent defections from other parties, including the APC and LP. Hundreds of supporters have joined the PDP ranks, further solidifying its position as a formidable force in the election.
Debo Ologunagba, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, expressed confidence in Ighodalo's candidacy: "The overwhelming support for Ighodalo is evident in every corner of Edo State. Our campaign has been robust and issue-based, reflecting the aspirations of our people."
As results continue to come in, the PDP remains optimistic about securing a decisive victory in this election. The party urges all voters to remain vigilant and ensure their voices are heard.
