Ekiti State’s 2026 governorship election is underway as Deputy Governor Monisade Afuye casts her vote. Multiple reports say Afuye commends the level of voter turnout and describes the public mood as confident. She also expresses the view that Governor Biodun Oyebanji is likely to win the election, portraying the process as peaceful and orderly at the time of her voting. The outlets describe her action as a show of support for the election and for Oyebanji’s candidacy, while emphasizing the participation of voters. There is no consensus across sources on official results because the election is still in progress. The reports focus on Afuye’s statements and the circumstances around her voting, including observations about turnout, rather than on independent assessments or vote-counting updates. As polling continues, the final outcome will depend on announced results from election authorities.
