Former Ekiti Governor Kayode Fayemi and Senator Ayo Arise publicly commend the conduct of the 2026 Ekiti governorship election as voting continues. After casting his vote in Oye-Ekiti, Arise expresses confidence that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will win, even as some parts of the state record average voter turnout. He describes the election day process as peaceful and says accreditation and voting are orderly.
Fayemi, according to multiple reports, praises the accreditation and voting experience, characterizing it as smooth and seamless, including at his polling unit. Premium Times reports Fayemi and Arise describe the process as fast and reasonably well organised, and Arise notes that he observed similar conditions for his wife’s voting.
Across the outlets, the common focus is that the accreditation and voting procedures are conducted without major disruption at the locations where the two politicians voted, and that both men speak positively about the election process while Arise maintains APC victory confidence.
