The EC8D reproduction
The state values reproduce the collation result for the four named parties. Grade B reflects a corroborated table without a direct scanned EC8D form in the current register.
Final state result · South West · Two-layer record
Ekiti 2023 presidential election result
The reproduced Ekiti EC8D collation records APC first with 201,494 votes and PDP second with 89,554. The declared margin was 111,940 votes. Mundx presents that state declaration beside, but never merged with, a four-party polling-unit research layer.
Result of record: the reproduced state collation. Research evidence: selected PU observations for APC, LP, PDP and NNPP under a documented policy.
Ekiti reconciliation
Declared totals beside selected PU observations
The declared four-party collation totals 302,709. The canonical PU layer totals 285,098, which is 94.2% of the declared figure and 17,611 below it.
| Party / scope | Declared collation | PU rollup | Declared minus PU | PU as % declared |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APC | 201,494 | 187,599 | +13,895 | 93.1% |
| LP | 11,397 | 12,171 | -774 | 106.8% |
| PDP | 89,554 | 84,233 | +5,321 | 94.1% |
| NNPP | 264 | 1,095 | -831 | 414.8% |
| Four-party total | 302,709 | 285,098 | +17,611 | 94.2% |
The difference is descriptive, not causal. “Declared minus canonical PU” equals +17,611 for the four tracked parties. It must not be relabelled as missing votes, invalid votes or fraud: the two layers were created at different stages, and the available record does not establish a single cause.

Polling-unit rollups across 16 Ekiti LGAs
These rows are calculated from selected polling-unit records, not declared LGA collation totals. APC leads 16 of the 16 local rollups. Each LGA name opens its permanent place page with ward and polling-unit context.

Largest local rollups
Five LGAs in Ekiti context
The notes restate the largest local aggregations in prose so their leader, margin and evidence coverage remain legible outside the table. A PU-layer lead is not an official LGA declaration.
- Ado Ekiti: APC leads the selected four-party rollup with 27,592 votes, 19,813 ahead of PDP. The local total is 39,717 across 344 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Ikole: APC leads the selected four-party rollup with 14,718 votes, 4,987 ahead of PDP. The local total is 25,374 across 189 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Oye: APC leads the selected four-party rollup with 13,600 votes, 6,930 ahead of PDP. The local total is 20,873 across 191 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Irepodun / Ifelodun: APC leads the selected four-party rollup with 13,702 votes, 8,319 ahead of PDP. The local total is 19,628 across 174 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Ido / Osi: APC leads the selected four-party rollup with 11,313 votes, 4,146 ahead of PDP. The local total is 19,389 across 144 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
Reading the Ekiti record
One contest, two evidence layers
The canonical PU layer
All 2,445 polling units in the inventory have a selected four-party observation. Representation does not authenticate each observation, restore the other fourteen parties or reproduce later collation decisions.
The LGA evidence directory
Ado Ekiti has the largest local rollup at 39,717. In Ikole, APC leads PDP by 4,987 in the closest proportional margin.
Coverage needs a denominator. The least complete local record is Ado Ekiti at 100.0% of its inventory. Cite represented and inventory counts when an LGA has unresolved records. Full representation still does not make the rollup an official declaration.
Questions this page answers
Ekiti result notes
Who led Ekiti in the declared result?
APC led with 201,494 votes. PDP followed on 89,554, a margin of 111,940. The four tracked parties total 302,709; that subtotal is not the complete eighteen-party vote.
What does the local pattern show?
APC leads 16 of the 16 LGA rollups. State-wide, APC leads the PU layer with 187,599 of 285,098 four-party votes, 103,366 ahead of PDP. This does not revise the declared leader.
Why can the declared and PU totals differ?
EC8D is a state collation product. Mundx selects complete four-party PU observations, prioritising CCIJ records and then Mark Essien fallbacks. Scope, availability, transcription and later collation steps can differ. The comparison identifies questions; it does not prove a cause.
How should this page be cited?
Use this permanent URL for the Ekiti declaration and comparison. Name the layer, year and review date. Cite an LGA place record for a local PU claim, and do not call its PU leader a declared winner without a traceable local collation source.
Provenance
What is official, and what Mundx calculated
The declared layer comes from INEC's result collection and a contemporaneous reproduction of the collation table. It is a collation product, not a sum recreated by Mundx.
Mundx's second layer is a four-party aggregation of selected polling-unit observations. It applies policy all-complete-ccij-first-v1: complete CCIJ records take precedence, then complete Mark Essien records fill remaining units.
- INEC 2023 presidential IReV record.
- State/FCT collation reproduction.
- 176,409 represented units from an inventory of 176,846; 437 remain unresolved nationally.
