As predicted, Idanre, the local government of the APC chairman, Mr Ade Adetimehin, which is one of the flashpoints of electoral violence, recorded the highest number of cancelled votes in the results released so far.
Other local governments where votes were cancelled were Ile-Oluji/Okeigbo and Ondo East due to non-use of Card Reader for accreditation of voters.
While 124 votes were cancelled in PU 8 Ward 5 in Ile-Oluji/Oke-Igbo Local Government, the entire 660 votes of Obada 006 in Ondo East, was cancelled just as 6,069 votes were cancelled in Idanre Local Government due to violence.
