Ibadan, Oyo State — The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Folajimi Oyekunle as the winner of the Ibadan North Federal Constituency by-election held on Saturday, August 16, 2025.
INEC Returning Officer, Professor Abiodun Oluwadare of the University of Ibadan, announced the results at the Collation Centre located at Ikolaba High School in the early hours of Sunday.
According to the official figures, Oyekunle secured 18,404 votes, decisively defeating his closest contender from the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adewale Olatunji Murphy, who garnered 8,312 votes.
Oyekunle’s victory comes following the passing of the former representative, Hon. Musliu Olaide Akinremi, popularly known as Jagaban, whose demise triggered the by-election.
This win further solidifies the PDP’s strong foothold and political dominance in Oyo State.
