Candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have won the chairmanship positions in all the 33 Local Government Areas in Saturday’s council election in Oyo State.

Gatekeepers News reports that The Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC) announced the result on Sunday amidst controversy of irregularities during the voting process.

The results were announced at the Conference Hall of the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission, Agodi, Ibadan.

After the presentation of the results from all the 33 local government areas where elections took place, the OYSIEC Chairman, Mr Isiaka Olagunju, affirmed the results and declared PDP victorious.

There are, however, complaints from some local government areas about irregularities noticed during the electoral process ranging from lateness of materials and personnel to non availability of necessary material in some.

There are allegations that election did not take place in some wards from Ibadan North, Ibadan South West, some parts of Saki in the Oke Ogun axis of the state among others.

While thanking all electoral officers, party agents and security agents who participated in the process, Olagunju acknowledged the fact that there are areas of improvement to be worked on, noting that detailed report of the election would be presented to the state government as soon as it is ready.
