The APC emerged victorious in the Edo Central Senatorial bye-election, with candidate Joseph Ikpea defeating his closest rival, Joe Okojie of the PDP, by a significant margin. The Returning Officer declared Ikpea the winner after he polled a total of votes.
Ikpea expressed gratitude to God and the people of the district, pledging to work hand in hand with the governor and party leaders to ensure quality representation for all constituents. In a separate election, the APGA secured a win in the Onitsha North Constituency 1, with candidate Mimi Azikiwe emerging victorious.
