APC closest rival the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which polled 168 votes.
At the unit, ADP scored 5 votes, AAC, 7 votes; A, 2 votes and SDP, 1 vote.

At the unit, A scored 4 votes, AAC ,1 vote; ADP, 7; APM, 2; Accord, 4; and Accord, 4.
However, the margin of win was a surprise to many observers who thought the former senator would completely overwhelm the PDP candidate in the unit.

But Mr Omisore denied that there was vote-buying during the election.
