The Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Saliu Danladi, has been declared winner of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election in Kwara State.
Danladi secured victory after polling over 94,000 votes to defeat 14 other aspirants in the keenly contested primary election held across the state on Friday.
His closest rival, Ambassador Abdulfatai Yahya-Seriki, garnered 41,700 votes, while former Kwara APC Chairman, Bashir Bolarinwa, came a distant third with 22,118 votes.
The results were announced by Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, chairman of the APC governorship primary election supervisory committee.
Only three aspirants — Speaker Saliu Danladi, Professor Wale Sulaiman and Captain Mahmud — were present at the venue during the official declaration of the results.
