The Peoples Democratic Party has won Ila Local Government Area of Osun State.
Ila is the country home of a former governor of Osun State and pioneer chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bisi Akande.
Though the APC chieftain had earlier won at his polling unit in ward 04, Isedo area of the ancient Ila-Orangun town, his candidate and the incumbent governor, Gboyega Oyetola, lost after the total votes cast were counted at the local government level.
Mr Akande failed to deliver a majority of the polling units in the local government to his party.
The main contender, Ademola Adeleke of the PDP secured 13,036 while APC polled 11,163.
The result shows a deficit of 1,873 for the ruling party.
