He said there were 961 valid votes and four invalid votes.

In his reaction, Governor AbdulRazaq thanked the APC stalwarts and members in the state for their support for his administration.

He said since the emergence of APC government in 2019 in the State, “Kwara politics has evolved, the destiny of the state is no longer tied to a single individual.”

Enumerating the achievements of his administration in the past three years, AbdulRazaq said: “There is no single ward in the state that has not witnessed development. APC is the party to beat at the state and federal level where President Muhammadu Buhari is providing the right leadership. This is the reason for the avalanche of aspirants scrambling to get the APC tickets across the country while other parties are struggling to get aspirants.”
