Though Soludo has won 18 out of the 20 local government areas where results have been announced, the collation of results was suspended as voting did not take place in Ihiala LGA.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said elections have to hold in Ihiala before a winner would be declared, though Soludo is already leading with a margin of over 50,000 votes.
The supplementary election in Ihiala local government area is ongoing at the time of filing this report on Tuesday evening, November 9.
