Ekiti Poll: PDP’s Oluyede consults party, lawyers on next move

Dr. Oluwole Oluyede, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for the June 20, 2026 Ekiti State election, is currently consulting with party leadership and his legal team to determine his next course of action. Oluyede expressed gratitude to the residents who supported his campaign, acknowledging the official results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In a statement titled “A Message of Gratitude, Hope and Commitment to the People of Ekiti State,” Oluyede thanked supporters and voters, noting that the PDP received 40,543 votes. He highlighted that the support garnered during his campaign reflected a strong commitment to good governance and democratic participation among Ekiti residents.

Oluyede also criticized unnamed politicians who, despite previously benefiting from the PDP, declared the party politically irrelevant in the state. He maintained that the election results demonstrate the PDP remains active and retains significant support across Ekiti.

He assured his supporters that their sacrifices would not be in vain and pledged to continue advocating for the state's interests. Oluyede emphasized that any post-election actions would be guided by respect for democratic institutions and due process, stating, “Our future can still be written in gold.”
