The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC), last night announced All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Mr Aransiola Yusuf, winner of Agege Ward F councilorship runoff election.
The runoff poll was conducted yesterday.
The Returning Officer of Ward F, Mr Oluranti Oduntan, said Yusuf polled 1,163 votes to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Mr Sakiru Akinwande, who scored 748 votes.
Speaking after the announcement, Mr Aruna Ogunsola, APC Ward Collation agent, commended LASIEC for a job well done.
“There is no winner and there is no vanquished. It was a peaceful election.
“What was declared is what we have from our polling agents from the 43 polling units. Both PDP and APC ward agents signed the results and there is no reason to fight,” he said.
According to him, the winner has no reason to disappoint the people who have given him the mandate, as doing so will be at his own risk.
Also, the PDP ward collation agent, Mr Monday Aikoye, said the voting went well without fracas.
The runoff followed the inconclusiveness of the previous poll on July 24, as a result of a tie between the candidates of APC and PDP.
