The All Progressives Congress (APC) has won all 57 chairmanship seats and secured 375 out of 376 councillorship positions in the local government elections held across Lagos State on Saturday.
Announcing the results on Sunday, the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) confirmed that the APC swept the polls in all 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas.
However, in a rare upset, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) clinched victory in Ward D of the Yaba LCDA, where its candidate, Babatunde Dosunmu — a former APC member who defected shortly before the polls — defeated the APC’s candidate.
LASIEC described the elections as largely peaceful, despite reports of low voter turnout and some alleged irregularities in certain areas. The newly elected council chairmen and councillors are expected to be sworn in later this month.
