Today, 10 October 2020, the people of Ondo State, southwest Nigeria, will troop out to elect a new governor to govern the southern state for another four years term.
Newsone Nigeria reports that that the election would take place in eighteen (18) Local Government Areas (LGAs) and two hundred and three (203) wards in the state.

In the build-up to the election, Incumbent Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party, has popped up clearly as a top contender for the office of the governor.
On the other hand, Eyitayo Jegede, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition party and the Deputy Governor Agboola Ajayi who is the candidate of Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), are hoping to unseat Akeredolu as Ondo governor.
Although 17 candidates are eying the Alagbaka Government House, Akure, the state capital, eyes are only on three standard bearers. On poll day, the remaining 14 candidates running on the platforms of mushroom parties will pale into dignified spectators. Some of them have been endorsing either Akeredolu or Jegede.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) put the number of registered voters for the election at 1,478,460 voters. According to the delimitation of the state, elections would be conducted in the 3,009 polling units in 203 wards in the 18 LGAs of the state.
The analysis of Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) collection across the councils shows voters’ enthusiasm. The 1,478, 460 cards collected represent 81 per cent of the 1,822, 346 total voter population.
