The victory of the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) was sealed following the supplementary election in Ihiala local government area on Tuesday, November 9, 2021.
Collation of results from the original November 6 election had been suspended days ago after it was discovered voting didn't take place in Ihiala due to 'security threat'.
Soludo was leading with 103,946 votes, followed by Valentine Ozigbo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who got 51,322 votes, before collation was halted.
