According to the result sheet from the local government collation, Adeleke recorded a clear lead over Oyebamiji across the 10 registration areas in Ede South.
The result showed that the Accord Party polled 26,188 votes, while the APC recorded 6,219 votes, giving Adeleke a wide margin in the local government.
Other political parties recorded significantly lower figures in the local government.
